Hi,

I'll be the release manager for the beginning of the Tails 1.5 cycle
(until August 4), and then anonym will take over.

Tails 1.5 is scheduled to be released on 2015-08-11. For the
list of tickets targeting Tails 1.5, have a look at:

https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=182

Here's the preliminary release schedule:

* 2015-07-31:
  - Freeze Tails 1.5: all features targeting Tails 1.5 must be merged
    into the `devel` branch by noon CEST. This hopefully includes
    a Tor Browser candidate based on the latest Firefox 38 ESR.
  - Build and upload Tails 1.5~rc1


* 2015-08-01: Test and release Tails 1.5~rc1

* 2015-08-05: anonym becomes RM

* 2015-08-10:
   - All branches targeting Tails 1.5 must be merged into the `testing`
     branch by noon CEST.
   - Tor Browser 4.5.x, based on Firefox 38esr, is hopefully out so
     we can import it.
   - Build and upload Tails 1.5 ISO image and IUKs.
   - Start testing Tails 1.5 during late CEST if building the image
     went smoothly.


* 2015-08-11:
- Finish testing Tails 1.5 by the afternoon, CEST.
- Release Tails 1.5 during late CEST.


So, testers:

* please let me know if you are available on 2015-08-01

* please let anonym know if you are available on 2015-08-10 (late
evening, CEST) and/or 2015-08-11 (whole day)

Cheers!
