Final release announcement coordination

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Hi all!
As we're getting to pretty solid RC, it's again time for release
announcement. Readiness meeting is on Thursday, would be nice to
have a draft ready for review and final version next Monday, so
text formatted and magazine versions can be prepared in advance.

Workstation seems to be pretty covered, do we have any additions
to Server and Cloud? The other thing is to get rid of all Beta
strings.

Thanks Joe for starting it and Paul for Workstation bit so
far! We had the best Alpha/Beta announcements so far, let's 
continue with this high bar :).

I'll be poking at this tonight. Others are welcome, of course, but I'll
make sure it's in shape for Thursday and we should only need minor
tweaks for Monday.

Thanks!

As you guys are crafting improved notes, for better consistency, it
would be great to write in present tense about the release.

INCONSISTENT: "Fedora 21 Foobar will include special flavor crystals
  that defy gravity and help you fly like Superman."

CONSISTENT: "Fedora 21 Foobar includes special flavor crystals that
  defy gravity and help you fly like Superman."

HTH!

Be sure to use passive voice too. Paul likes that.[1]

Passive voice is not liked by me!  Oh, wait... ;-)

Just to clarify -- I think much of the current announcement dervies,
from Alpha/Beta so it's natural it reads in future tense.  I just
figured to get a head start on the rewrite as it comes from multiple
people. :-D
