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.
• Create a specific readme.md for the branch, with information specific for the release.
• Create metadata based on Gold Master. (go.cd completed, location passed on to genivi IT)
• Sign the images and metadata. (go.cd is generating md5sum lists per board, manually.)
• 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) (previously mentioned, IT ticket created)
• Communicate the release date to: marketing, PMO, community management
• Communicate Release date/time
  • to the mailing list.
  • social media

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
