   We should at least use an -announce mailing list.

   Figure out how we want to notify people of new releases.

   I don't think there will be a single place.

   Foreman uses https://community.theforeman.org/c/release-announcements/8 to announce releases, but https://theforeman.org/ also shows the latest versions and then we also have it in the topic on Matrix also points to it.

   There should at least be a place where users can be notified. Whether that's an email list, a Discourse group, RSS feed or whatever. This is mostly important for security announcements.

   Automated

   I can't find the exact documentation on it now, but PowerDNS (another awesome piece of open source software) uses DNS queries to retrieve the latest version, which is very privacy friendly.

   JFYI, Github provides RSS on the releases & tags pages IIRC. Can do automation based on this.

   E.g. see

   • https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-agent/tags.atom
   • https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-agent/releases.atom
