About:Release Management

The Release Management Team is tasked with ensuring the release process is on track while ensuring quality releases of our products and for users. We monitor releases, track work for upcoming releases, coordinate with any and all teams responsible for areas of release quality/security/stability to get features & fixes (and sometimes backouts) landed in time for proper evaluation and the shipping of the most stable & quality product we can ship for Firefox Desktop & Mobile.

Calendar Updating

When the release schedule is adjusted for any reason, we need to ensure that https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mozilla.com_u92lbs8k7tj4a9j4qc231ov3co%40group.calendar.google.com is updated to reflect this. If the calendar itself is updated, there is a link to it on this page (at the top) as well as on RapidRelease/Calendar
