706238 - Provide a CalDAV (.ics) of Mozilla apps upcoming release schedules.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[KLB]

With the rapid release schedule, it can be difficult to keep track of when new versions of Mozilla's applications (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) are going to be released. It would be really nice if there were a calendar we subscribe our calendar application (e.g. Lightening/SunBird) to such that our own calendars were automatically updated to the current release schedule.

This would tremendously help with planning. For instance addon developers could plan their addon development schedules and AMO editors could plan out their volunteer time to provide extra help during the inevitable spike in addon submissions surrounding Firefox & Thunderbird updates.

Such a calendar could also help IT departments keep track of when major updates are going to hit.

CalDAV may not be the right term for what I'm suggesting. Basically what I'm suggesting is just a calendar that can be subscribed to like: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/caldata/USHolidays.ics

This isn't really a documentation issue; this should belong to the release engineering team.

For what it's worth, there's:

https://mail.mozilla.com/home/[e-mail]/Release%20Management.ics

I don't know how "official" that is though.

OK, I've been told to use that, so I've updated the following pages with links to the calendar:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Gecko_SDK

Note that the former needs a hell of a lot of other work.
