| PowerUser64 | If there's a release that needs editing, count me in! I'm a native US English speaker and I have an eye for grammatical problems. Let me know what needs to be done! | 05:30:22 |

| Vladimír Čunát | * The texts are certainly not there yet, for some time. | 05:31:25 |
| PowerUser64 | Regardless of what needs to be done, I think this sounds like a fun role. I'd love to know when things start moving on this. I shouldn't be a lead editor because I don't have experience specifically writing release notes, but I can certainly help if I have some guidance. | 05:38:25 |
 jonringer | "backup" for me is if someone else doesn't step up, I'll step up. | 21:37:03 |
 tomberek | figsoda: Glad to see the extra announcements helped. Anything else you need? (i also RM'd a while back and can assist as needed) | 22:21:04 |
| jonringer | Also there to assist :) | 22:32:24 |

 hexa | figsoda: can you try to nail this to down asap? | 11:22:37 |

 figsoda | I don't think I have the capacity to consistently commit time to release management, and I'm stepping back from the Release Manager role.
I'm nominating Weijia (primary) and jonringer (secondary) for 24.05 based on the discourse thread.
It's been wonderful working with everyone for 23.11, I will still be around for 24.05, feel free to ask me for help, I just probably won't be as active.
Sorry that I sent this message weeks after when it should have happend - I should have stepped back earlier so we wouldn't be behind the release schedule.
P.S. I haven't been as active in nixpkgs and my nix-community either. I'm not leaving the community, I just haven't been as active partly because of life and partly because of burnout. And for anyone concerned - I'm fine, just a little busier than I used to be.

| jonringer | For what it's worth, I think you did a great job figsoda . Take some time, you deserve it :) | 01:50:13 |
| jonringer | Weijia: not sure when you want to meet, but I think it would be good to come up with the release schedule and plan the next steps up until ZHF. | 01:52:00 |
| jonringer | figsoda: don't forget about release editor as well :) | 01:52:13 |

figsoda: don't forget about release editor as well :) Would you mind picking the release editors for me? I asked alejandrosame and they would be busy during 24.05, so we would need 2 new release editors. Thanks! | 01:53:57 |

Weijia: not sure when you want to meet, but I think it would be good to come up with the release schedule and plan the next steps up until ZHF. Probably this Saturday or Sunday evening in UTC+2? I'm counting 7 hours of time difference between us. | 02:27:14 |

| PowerUser64 | Weijia: I'm on PDT, which is UTC-7 right now. If you schedule a meeting, feel free to ping me and tell me when it is. I'll be fairly busy the next few days, but I'll be more available closer to and after the end of this month. What's our timeline for 24.5? | 04:04:06 |
| Weijia | https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Release-Process.html | 04:10:50 |
| Weijia | We're almost -7 weeks from release, so probably should start the first event asap | 04:12:02 |
| jonringer | I was expecting to go through 4.1 and 4.2 together https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/Once-Appointed.html | 04:14:25 |
| jonringer | a lot of the "work" is pretty "copy, update, paste". If you feel confident to do it on your own, feel free to do so. Otherwise we go through it together | 04:16:06 |
