+= Bitmask Release Checklist =
+
+  == CI check ==
+  * [ ] Check that all tests are passing!
+  * [ ] Fix any broken tests.
+
+  == Version bumps and Tagging ==
+  * [ ] Update pkg/next-release
+  * [ ] Update release-notes.rst in leap.bitmask if needed.
+  * [ ] Update version in bitmask_client/pkg/linux/bitmask-root if needed.
+  
+  * [ ] Tag everything. Should be done for the following packages, in order:
+      * [ ] 1. leap.common
+      * [ ] 2. leap.keymanager
+      * [ ] 3. leap.soledad
+      * [ ] 4. leap.mail
+      * [ ] 5. leap.bitmask
+      * [ ] 6. leap.mx
+
+    * NOTE: It's assumed that origin is the leap.se repo
+     
+    * [ ] git fetch origin
+    * [ ] git tag -l, and see the latest tagged version (unless it's not a minor version bump, in which case, just bump to it)
+    * [ ] export version: export RELEASE=0.9.0
+    * [ ] git checkout `release/0.9.x`
+	- NOTE: the release branch is created when the first release candidate
+	  is tagged, after that the bugfixes and features that are meant to be
+	  shipped with the specific version that we are targetting are merged in that branch
+    * [ ] git checkout -b release/$RELEASE (this is a LOCAL branch, never published).
+ 	* [ ] (maybe) cherry-pick specific commits
+	* [ ] (maybe) add special fixes for this release
+
+    * [ ] Review pkg/requirements.pip for everything, update if needed (that's why the order).
+          - See whatever has been introduced in changes/VERSION_COMPAT
+          - Reset changes/VERSION_COMPAT
+          - Bump all the leap-requirements altogether.
+    * [ ] git commit -am "Update requirements file"
+
+    * [ ] Merge changes/next-changelog.rst into the CHANGELOG
+          - NOTE: in leap.soledad, 3 sections (common, client, server).
+    * [ ] reset changes/next-changelog.rst
+    * [ ] git commit -S -m "[pkg] Update changelog"
+
+    * [ ] git tag --sign $RELEASE -m "Tag version $RELEASE"
+
+    * If everything went ok, push the changes, and merge back into master&develop:
+    	* [ ] git checkout release/0.9.x && git merge $RELEASE
+    	* [ ] git push origin release/0.9.x
+        * [ ] git push origin $RELEASE
