as all of you know this year is the 30th anniversary of KDE. Like we did for 
5.23 and the 25th anniversary let's make 6.8 the 30th anniversary edition.
We released 5.23 on the day of the anniversary, I propose we do the same for
6.8. See also: https://invent.kde.org/teams/promo/30th-anniversary/-/
work_items/7
I propose:
Shift the release dates by a week so 6.8.0 releases on the 14th of October. 
The patch and beta releases could keep their day of the week. In detail:

 +++++ [Plasma 6.8.] +++++
 6.7.80		2026-08-27
 6.7.90		2026-09-10 ¹
 6.7.91		2026-10-24
 TAR		2026-10-08
 6.8.0		2026-10-14
 6.8.1		2026-10-20
 6.8.2		2026-10-27
 6.8.3		2026-11-10
 6.8.4		2026-12-01
 6.8.5		2027-01-05
 6.8.6		2027-03-02

¹ this means we would miss the proposed frameworks released on the 11th, maybe 
delay or ask Nicolas to release frameworks a bit earlier?

Cheers,
David
