Thank you, Rohit. Hello, everyone --I hope you are well. Please go ahead and publish on blogs.apache.org/cloudstack and across the CloudStack channels. Be sure to also send to [email protected] as that will reach those members of the media/analyst community who are following ASF news there. By sending to announce@, we will also be including the v4.14.10 release in this Friday's Weekly News Round-up, which is also sent to our dedicated media/analyst list.
Rule of thumb: if it is *not* a major release, it cannot be sent out as an ASF press release over the wire. In the past there's been confusion about CloudStack's versioning/naming, and subsequent comments about ASF M&P seemingly giving preferential treatment (extra PR) to the project. So minor release announcements should be promoted via: - blogs.a.o/cloudstack - CloudStack user and dev lists - [email protected] (the format below is OK for both the blog and announce@; usually a bit less formal) - ASF Marketing & Publicity adds exposure via Weekly News Round-up and mention in the Month in Review Major release/milestones are to be promoted via the above channels, with ASF M&P issuing an ASF-originating press release disseminated on the newswire, the "Foundation" blog, announce@ (M&P sends the press release), and across ASF social media channels. Hope this helps!
