Release tasks overview

This section provides an overview of the tasks that need to be completed for a documentation release, and a rough schedule of when to complete each task. The schedule is expressed in terms of time before release day. Release day is usually 1300UTC on the initial release date listed on the release schedule.

Four to six weeks before release

Ping packagers to locate pre-release packages to test the Installation Guides against, and start looking for willing volunteers to help test.

Two to four weeks

Ping subteam leads to review and update release notes for openstack-manuals.

At RC1

When projects create their branches and land the first patch, they will automatically have branch-specific documentation.

Before or on release day

Create a project data file in the openstack-manuals repository for the new series. Update the series settings in the template generator and add the landing page for the next series by copying the templates from the current release to the new release directory.
