Re: Fwd: KF5 beta3 - HELP NEEDED

Seth,

Thanks for the work! After Stu put the text on the dot, David Fauré had some 
comments which were implemented. I then copied the text to the kde.org svn 
repository, updated some files there and send a mail to kde-announce.

To get an idea about what is involved, here is a file with the process we use 
to do releases:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=sysadmin%2Frelease-tools.git&a=blob&hb=HEAD&f=RELEASE_PROMOTION

And the promo release announcement guidelines:
http://community.kde.org/Promo/RA_guidelines

Your help saves us from having to write the initial text.  Unfortunately we 
seem to have a 'perfect storm' on our hands with Carl, Stuart, Maria AND 
myself all being almost unavailable (I really don't have time to be doing 
what I do right now...) so this process is breaking down and we need new 
volunteers...

If you (and others?) are interested, we can initiate you ;-) into some of the 
other steps: actually pushing the dot story (making you a dot editor), and 
getting the ability for updating kde.org (access to SVN).

We'll help, esp in the beginning (and I must admit, it's a bit new to me too, 
I only have been doing the svn steps for a couple of months).

Up for it?

/J
