Task description

Once the decision has been made to declare an image for each target Board Gold Master there are several tasks to do:

• Introduce a tag in meta-genivi-dev and genivi-dev-platform referring to the release. (done, relevant tags + branches in place)
• Create a specific readme.md for the branch, with information specific for the release. (readme updated in mgd.git)
• Create metadata based on Gold Master. (go.cd currently 4/5 boards checked)
• Sign the images and metadata. (go.cd is generating md5sum lists per board, manually checking images etc)
• Communicate to the Release team the place to download the image and metadata (ticket will be created in IT team jira when go.cd links are ready)
• Communicate Release date/time.
• Communicate the release date to: marketing, PMO, community management

Request redirection of http://projects.genivi.org/gdp/release_announcement to the blog post with the new release announcement, which view should be restricted until the RT.

This task is better described in the Release Howto
