+* [ ] Tag and push to release branch in python-pillow repo.
+* [ ] Upload binaries.
+
+## Embargoed Release
+
+Security fixes that need to be pushed to the distros prior to public release.
+
+* [ ] Prepare patch for all versions that will get a fix. Test against local installations.
+* [ ] Commit against master, cherry pick to affected release branches.
+* [ ] Run local test matrix on each release & Python version.
+* [ ] Privately send to distros.

+* [ ] On release date, tag and push to GitHub.

+
+
+## Binary Upload Process
+
+* [ ] Ping cgohlke for Windows binaries
+* [ ] From a clean source directory with no extra temp files:
+```
+python setup.py register
+python setup.py sdist --format=zip upload
+python setup.py sdist upload
+```
+(Debian requests a tarball, everyone else would just prefer that we choose one and stick to it. So both it is)
+* [ ] Push a commit to https://github.com/python-pillow/pillow-wheels to build OSX versions (UNDONE latest tag or specific release???)
+* [ ] Retrieve the OS X Wheels from Rackspace files, upload to PyPi (Twine?)
+* [ ] Grab Windows binaries, `twine upload dist/*.[whl|egg]`. Manually upload .exe installers.
+* [ ] Announce release availability. [Twitter](https://twitter.com/pythonpillow), web.
