+# Maintainers Guide to Omniperf
+
+## Publishing a release
+
+Before publishing a new Omniperf release, please review this checklist to ensure all prerequisites are met:
+
+1) **Ensure [VERSION](VERSION) file is updated** to reflect your desired release version.
+2) **Sync `amd-mainline` with `amd-staging`**. A rebase may be required to pull all the desired patches from the development branch to our stable mainline. Click [here](https://github.com/ROCm/omniperf/compare/amd-mainline...amd-staging) to begin that process.
+3) **Update [CHANGES](CHANGES)** to reflect all major modifications to the codebase since the last release. When modifying [CHANGES](CHANGES) please ensure formatting is consistent with the rest of the ROCm software stack. See [this template](https://github.com/ROCm/hipTensor/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md) for reference.
+4) **Confirm all CI tests are passing**. You can easily confirm this by peeking the passing status of all GitHub continuous integration tests.
+5) **Create a tag from `amd-mainline`**. More information on tagging can be found at [Git Docs - Tagging](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging). 
+
+> [!NOTE]
+Note: A successful tag should trigger the [packaging action](.github/workflows/packaging.yml) which will produce a tarball artifact. **This artifact needs to be included as an asset in your release**. Please find that the [packaging action](.github/workflows/packaging.yml) will automatically create a draft release with your tarball attached.
+
+Once you've completed the above checklist, you are ready to publish your release. Please ensure you follow formatting from [past Omniperf releases](https://github.com/ROCm/omniperf/releases) for consistency. Some important aspects of our release formatting include:
+
+- Date of release is included in "Release Title".
+- Updates are called out in "Release Description". Updates should mirror those listed in [CHANGES](CHANGES).
+- Links to documentation and associated release tarball are called out in "Release Description".
+- The tarball artifact from the corresponding tag is added to "Release Assets".
+
+### Publishing a release for ROCm
+
+If you are preparing for a new ROCm release, note that the [rocm-ci](https://github.com/rocm-ci) bot managed by DevOps will be triggering a tag automatically. This tag will follow the format `rocm-X.X.X`.
+
+Traditionally, we will bump the Omniperf [VERSION](VERSION) with a new ROCm release. When we bump the version and reach the prerequisite step (5) above, try tagging with `vX.X.X` to validate the release tarball generated by the [packaging action](.github/workflows/packaging.yml).
+
+In addition to the prerequisites mentioned above, please make sure that all changes have been merged from `amd-staging` -> `release/rocm-rel-X.X.X` to ensure that the "rocm-ci" bot will capture all your changes. It is easiest to file a single pull request ahead of the ROCm release.
