We discussed the topic of [screenshot
automation](https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2014/BOFs/ScreenshotAutomation)
a while ago. It comes up again every now and then, but sadly not much
progress has been made. We had a prototype set up by Vadim that was
able to provide a series of shots in any language, but it never went
any further and I can’t seem to find the link to the prototype. It
used Dogtail.

If we ever get this, it could be used for release notes as well. As a
bonus, all release note translations would at least have the
screenshots translated, which was the main motivation to do it in the
first place.

I wonder if we could take a more systematic approach to the screenshots in
general. There are discrepancies between screenshots shown in the shell and
other minor preferences that differ from the shipped GNOME defaults.

Is Continuous up to the task of being used for screenshots? Could some even be
automatically taken by injecting keypress events?

I would just go with HiDPI but not sure what resolution and DPI that would
be.

I noticed an inconsistency in the screenshots in the 3.24 pack. Some 
are taken with HiDPI while others are clearly not. Is there a desired 
DPI and resolution that all screenshots should be taken at?

3.26 release marketing - outstanding tasks

2017-09-08 Thread Allan Day 
Hi everyone,

I'm going to be offline for the next week. I'm leaving with some tasks
incomplete for the 3.26 release on 13 September. Here's what needs to be
done:

   - Release notes:
  - The Git statistics need updating from last release. There are notes
  about this on the wiki [1]. Emily has said that she will chase Andre, but
  whoever coordinates the release should make sure that it has been done.
  - Someone needs to ask the sysadmins to publish the release notes
  online with a password (I asked about this today, but didn't get
a reply).
  Once they're up, log in and check that they are OK, in
particular that all
  the screenshots are visible.
  - News post: I've written a draft which is in gnome.org. It will need
   finishing off on release day, as described in the instructions [2].
   - Screenshot pack: this isn't essential, but if someone wants to do it,
   there are instructions on the wiki [3] and you can see what we've done in
   previous releases. You'll need to combine the screenshots I took (which are
   in Nextcloud) with Andreas's and the ones from the release notes.
   - Email to Friends of GNOME donors: this is good to do, but not
   absolutely essential. Neil has said that he'll look into it.
   - Social media: ideally we'd have done some posts in the run up to the
   release, but we should at least make sure that we have announcements on
   Twitter, Facebook and G+. Ideally the release coordinator should chase this
   up.
   - Release day: someone needs to coordinate the announcement. In addition
   to what is documented on the wiki [2], they should also check that the
   release notes are ready. Feel free to skip the step about updating the
   screenshots on gnome.org - that can happen later.

Sorry to leave you over release day - good luck! If anything is unclear, do
email me (sooner rather than later!)

Allan
