Here's an update on where we are with the release marketing: * Release notes - done, currently being translated * Press release - Sri is leading this, and I've been gathering quotations (we have 4 confirmed now). The text itself is work in progress. * GNOME 3 page on gnome.org - Andreas said he'd update the screenshots. * GNOME 3 homepage banner - I've been talking to Lapo and Jimmac about getting some new artwork. The current idea is to do something that highlights our new accessibility and input methods features, with the theme "Freedom for all". * Announcement news post - a draft is sitting in gnome.org; please check it over and give feedback, if you have access. * Press outreach - this hasn't happened yet. I might have time, but I might not - please step up here, if you can.
So most things are under control. We definitely could do with news posts for before and after the release (perhaps spotlighting particular features). It would also be cool if anyone has ideas for things we could do on the social media front. I've always liked the idea of having an online event to coincide with the release... maybe we could use Hangouts to do a live party, or to stream an interview with key developers or designers?
