Introduction

Developer Services is a set of project-wide services that support development. Any impact to these services could cause tree closures and as such we limit the window in which we make changes.

The schedule for these windows follows the 6-week release cycle. Emergencies or other external events can postpone a Scheduled Maintenance Window. Mozilla IT will always confirm with Release Coordinators before scheduling work.

Scheduled Maintenance

The schedule mimics the 6-week release cycle, with weeks 4 & 5 being the only two possible available weeks.

Week 2	Wednesday, ship .1 release? If .1, release by Friday
Week 3	A .1 may be released Monday
