+## Release retrospective and kickoff
+
+### Retrospective
+
+After each release (usually on the 22nd of each month), we have a retrospective
+call where 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 them.
+If you're interested, you can even join the [retrospective call][retro-kickoff-call].
+
+### Kickoff
+
+Before working on the next release (usually on the 8th of each month), 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 them.
+If you're interested, you can even join the [kickoff call][retro-kickoff-call].
