Hi All,<br><br>I wanted to check in with everyone regarding final preparations for release. These items may have been discussed on IRC, but I figured it would be good to check anyway. Please note that I'm writing this with no intention of providing an exhaustive list of tasks, but as a prompt to start discussions and confirm remaining tasks.</blockquote>
</div><div><br>Thanks for sending this e-mail.<br><br>Here is where I'm writing the release announcement/release notes: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/JauntyJackalope/Final" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/JauntyJackalope/Final</a><br>

What are people's plans for updating the website? Do we have a news announcement planned? With the Beta, I think we just took some of the wording from the release announcement. </blockquote></div><div><br>We'll have the something on the website at <a href="http://xubuntu.org/news/9.04-release" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org/news/9.04-release</a> </div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>If we stick to the scheme we were using up until now it'd be located at <a href="http://xubuntu.org/news/jaunty/release">http://xubuntu.org/news/jaunty/release</a> <br><br>I'll probably be able to quickly post a news item on the website tomorrow if someone can remind me, only I'm really, really busy (and came back from Vienna Sunday morning so I missed most developments from the past weeks as well), so that'd be about all I can do on the day itself.<br>

<br>Are there any features that are not included in the RC release announcement that you feel should be mentioned? In the final announcement? As a note, Steve Langasek's current draft of the Ubuntu release announcement points to this page ( <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/9.04/Xubuntu" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/9.04/Xubuntu</a> ) for Xubuntu's release announcement. </blockquote>

<br>With regard to the release notes, it appears as though some elements that are specific to Kubuntu are being included in the Ubuntu release notes. Is there any chance of including known Xubuntu issues on the same page ( <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904</a> )? If not, we could copy the relevant items onto a wiki page, and add our Xubuntu-specific items from there.</blockquote>
