Hello again!
We've made some good progress on F32 release notes so far - big thanks
to everyone who contributed! Just a reminder, as of today now have one
week to finish up and hand the doc over to localization. At the same
time, some parts of the world will be celebrating Easter around this
weekend (well, as much as one can during a pandemic :), so please make
sure to finish as much as you can, preferably this week, and drop any
issues currently assigned to you that you won't be able to finish so
that someone else can potentially pick them up.
Cheers,
Petr

Hi everyone!
Today's F32 Beta Go/No-Go meeting earlier today resulted in a no-go
status, but nevertheless, it's about time we started working on F32
release notes. As usual, we aim to cover notable Changes[0]. Ben
Cotton has been tracking those in the relnotes repo's issues for us,
which allows us to grab a list of everything that needs to be
documented[1].
Some of you are already familiar with the process, so go ahead and
grab some issues; branch f32 is waiting for you. For those of you who
are new or need a refresher, here's how it works:
1. Pick one or more issues in the list linked above.
2. Open each issue you picked, and click the Take button on the right
to claim it. (If you claim an issue but later find out you don't have
time to write about it, remove yourself from the issue ASAP so others
can see it's free and take it!)
3. Find some information about the issue. A lot of them have plenty of
info in them already; if not, find out who's responsible for the
change, and talk to them on IRC or via mail. Of course it's always
better if you try to do research before you ask questions. Note that
you might not always be able to reach the owner in a reasonable
timeframe; in that case just do your best, I'll be reviewing PRs, so
if we publish something wrong, it's on me.
4. Write a release note about the issue. If you're not sure how
exactly a release note looks, check out some of the previous releases
for inspiration. We don't want any long, overly technical texts, the
release notes are meant to highlight changes, not to tell people how
to use something.
5. Now the workflow diverges based on your permissions and technical
skills:
5a. If you know how to use git and asciidoc, we'd appreciate if you
wrote up the release note and sent a pull request[2] against the main
repo, branch "f32". Your contributions should go into one of the files
in "modules/release-notes/pages/", which one exactly depends on the
contents of the change you're documenting. Use the "build.sh" and
"preview.sh" scripts in the repository root to preview your changes
locally; see the repository README for specific instructions. If you
can't see the section where you added your contributions at all, make
sure it's included in "modules/release-notes/nav.adoc".
5b. If the above sounds like gibberish to you, it's fine: just add a
comment with your text into the issue, and ping me on IRC/Telegram or
through e-mail; I'll mark it up for you and make sure your
contribution appears in the final document.
If anyone has any questions, go ahead and ask either here on the list
or on IRC/Telegram, I'm happy to help. The current schedule[3] gives
us until April 14 (see line 9), after that we'll be handing the
release notes to the localization team. This gives us a month, which
should be enough to cover the 55 open issues.
Happy writing!
Petr
