This SOP is not complete!
If you have time, please write this SOP by looking at the Fedora 13 announcement and filling in notes on how to create the F14 deliverable.

Introduction

This is a Marketing SOP that describes how to write a final announcement for a Fedora operating system release. According to the task schedule, the release announcement must be ready to occur on release day. Work on the announcement can begin at any time but its peak window of productivity is 17 days prior to release. It should be complete by a week before the operating system release.

Examples

You can see examples of past final release announcements at Final announcement.
