As stated in the [GitLab Master Plan][gitlab-master-plan], we strive to maintain a high level of transparency. That's why today we are making our release retrospective and kickoff notes and calls public.
The retrospective meeting
After each release we have a retrospective call in which we discuss what went well, what went wrong, and what we can improve for the next release. The [retrospective notes] are public and you are invited to comment on them. If you're interested, you can even join the [retrospective call][retro-kickoff-call], on the first working day after the 22nd at 6pm CET / 9am PST.
The kickoff meeting
Before working on the next release we have a kickoff call to explain what we expect to ship in the next release. The [kickoff notes] are public and you are invited to comment on them. If you're interested, you can even join the [kickoff call][retro-kickoff-call], on the first working day after the 7th at 6pm CET / 9am PST.
