Hi Sally, I've sent email to [email protected] - can you help check and moderate that, I don't see the email published yet on the list.
I've published the announcement blog here: https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/entry/apache-cloudstack-lts-maintenance-release Regards. ________________________________ From: Rohit Yadav <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 3, 2021 13:38 To: Andrija Panic <[email protected]>; Apache CloudStack Marketing <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DRAFT][REVIEW] 4.14.1.0 release announcement draft Thanks Sally for the guidance, will announce today.

Hello, everyone --I hope you are well. Please go ahead and publish on blogs.apache.org/cloudstack<http://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack> and across the CloudStack channels. Be sure to also send to [email protected]<mailto:[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]<mailto:[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!

I’d therefore say: 1. Yes, lets do a release 2. Modify as follows: “The CloudStack 4.14.1.0 release contains more than 100 fixes and improvements since the CloudStack 4.14.0.0 release” Becomes “The CloudStack 4.14.1.0 release is a maintenance release and contains more than 100 fixes and improvements since the CloudStack 4.14.0.0 release” Kind regards Giles [email protected] www.shapeblue.com @shapeblue From: Andrija Panic <[email protected]> Sent: 02 March 2021 07:36 To: Apache CloudStack Marketing <[email protected]> Cc: Sally Khudairi <[email protected]>; Giles Sirett <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DRAFT][REVIEW] 4.14.1.0 release announcement draft Bug-fix only release - I would say just ship it with no noise.
