Yes, Rohit, correct. Technical work is out of my scope and you know the best. I am talking mainly for the official announcement and communication.

I think logistically it would take about a week for the RM/community to do wrap up the release with build/publish pkgs, update the website, create/publish release notes, draft announcement/blog. I suppose what you're saying is to not hold any technical work (like we still build/publish pkgs etc) but hold on marketing work around making changes on website/release notes live and doing blogs/announcements. We haven't attempted a broader campaign before on a specific date before but let's try it.

I decided to share an idea here. It is great we have such a rapid development and new releases often with so much great features insight. I believe the world (inside and outside of our community) should learn more about them, when there is a release. On this point, I was wondering if we can structure a process around announcing new releases. It will be great if when we announce the release we also have the following things prepared: - Images for the social media announcements - PR article for the release - A more detailed article presenting why the new features and improvements are bringing value and talking more for use cases, customer benefits and added value I would be happy to take these at my side, but all they need some time for preparation. If you agree for the proposed process and bringing more noise around the release, is it possible to fix a release date, when we can also launch simultaneously the marketing initiatives? As all the marketing preparations will take around a week, what about doing a broader campaign on 8th of November?

I will now prepare the release announcement to go out after 24-48 hours to give the mirrors time to catch up. Regards, Nicolas Vazquez
