Well here's the problem I face: I cannot know any sooner than Tuesday
before release (Thursday) what the state of the images are. In fact,
sometimes (14.04.2) I don't even know until day of release!!!!
I could try to make sure testing is done on dailies a week before, but
I still won't be able to say anything definite because there's lots of
opportunity for changes while we wait. The images are frozen come
Tuesday.
At least for non-release milestones, that's the case. Beyond that, it
shouldn't be too difficult.
I hope you can understand.

Good evening folks,
Finally I was able to fullfill wxl's request to get my task-list (seen here
below as text version) onto the wiki =>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/silverlion/PressTemplate
I'll also be working on a draft for an offline version for the announcement
of 15.04.
I'd like QA & Wiki / Docs to consider this list (link see above) as
effective as of now.
@Wiki & Docs: Please copy this link above to the appropriate places and have
the mentioned pages in the wiki ready for me asap.
@wxl: I'd appreciate it if you could update the questionaire not only one
day prior to release. We (aka comms) need to have time to prepare everything
so _1 Week_ prior to release everything must be ready for us in order to
look professional.
Thanks in advance to everybody for your attention ;)

If this goes through, please let me know by the end of the week and I'll
assign my share of tasks to the team and will take care of that asap.
In my opinion, it is a +1 for this.

Hey there folks!
I've been asked by wxl and phillw to put together a draft for what's
needed in my personal opinion to prepare a proper Public-Relations of
Lubuntu.
First of all: in Public-Relations it's crucial to be “the first” on the
market. Meaning: The earlier we start putting our announcement together
the sooner we're on the screens of online media and other interested
parties like LoCos.
That's why we should start very early in the process to gather
informations etc.
Because the earlier we start, the less we've got to do on release day...
I've prepared a list and divided it in 5 chapters. In each “chapter”
I've written some questions to give you in overview what might be
interesting and necessary for me to prepare the statement at the end.
#####################################################################
1. Feature – Definition – Freeze
(a) What's going to be new in the upcoming release?
(b) What kind of updates are we doing?
(c) Are we changing anything special? (for example: change of the DE →
LXQt?)
(d) Are we planning anything special like a contest for wallpapers etc.?
(e) What will be our main goal for this release?
2. Feature-Freeze
(a) “Half-Time”-Report: How are things going? Anything unexpected during
the latest period?
(b) The Updates we planned to include: Are they all going to come? If
not → Why not?!
3. Final Beta Freeze (1 Month PRIOR to Release Day!!!)
(a) Statement by Release-Manager & Head of Dev: Did everything go as
expected?
(b) Did we have to skip any planned things from #1?
(c) What's the latest “news” about the release?
(d) What can users expect from this release we're talking about?
4. One Week before Release
(a) Prepare wiki-page for online and offline press-statement¹
(b) copy prepared announcement into wiki-area (which need to be prepared
by wiki team!)
(c) upload PDF for LoCos and other interested parties to download
5. At Release Day
(a) Let prepared wiki-page (from task 4a) go “live”
(b) link to it via social media (Twitter, Facebook Page, Facebook Group,
G+ Community)

Please let me know if anything else is needed your you've got any
further questions on that subject.
Regards,
Silver!
