Release announcements

SVB Steffen van Bergerem Public Seen by 464

What should we include in the release announcements or in additional posts after each release to recruit new devs or make users aware of the progress we made?

Bang, 0.4.1.0 coming up - if no one opposes it will be pushed out tomorrow. Release announcement wip here: http://pad.spored.de/p/release_notes .. feel free to edit.

I'll be adding something about the ToS and Rake emailer to the changelog before the release and reading it through with someone before pushing the release out (sometime late evening on Sunday). I don't mind also doing the blog since I now have access there too :)

Have just edited the release announcement with links to Github profiles of contributors, plus some minor tweaks to the text.

ToS changelog looks good, have made a couple of small suggestions.

@goob thanks for the profile links, totally forgot to add them. Will make your grammar change in the changelog pull, merge it and then push out the release.

So the good news of the week-end is the merge by Dennis and Jonne of the new federation gem by Benjamin. It's the most important change done by the community so far.

There are still issues to solve before the release but I feel like we can start to prepare its promotion, because there is work to do ;)

On our blog:
We could write a separate blogpost only about the new migration. I was also thinking about the OpenID connect, not sure how big we want to promote that.

In diaspora*:
We could promote 0.6 as we did for 0.1. To do that, we basically need to:
- Choose which features we want to promote
- Create an image for 0.6
- Pick an hashtag for 0.6 (#diaspora0600 for example)
- Write the posts
- Would be even better if we can translate them

In the press:

  • Write a press release
  • Translate it
  • For each language we have a translation,
    • List the press websites which could be interested
    • Send them the press release

Any other idea?
