And a hearty congratulations to everyone who helped get us this far. Thanks!

I haven't seen these discussed anywhere, but I think there is a (parallel) effort that gains some urgency now that we're coming down to having our long-standing vision actually come to fruition:

1) Has anyone been thinking about publicity for the release candidates and final? I envision an expanding circle of announcements for our release candidates: First to lede-dev and the forum. Later an announcement on the OpenWrt forum. And who's going to write the announcement for Slashdot? Do we need to buy another server first? :-) 

2) I created a draft (skeleton) for the Release Notes on the web site at: https://lede-project.org/playground/draft-release-notes Please look it over and add items that should be mentioned. Thanks again.
