# The Release Team The [Ubuntu Release Team](https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release) is responsible for the overall [Release cycle](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/release-team/release-cycle.md#release-cycle), which includes monitoring the healthy development and stability of the Ubuntu distribution. During the [devel](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/how-ubuntu-is-made/concepts/glossary.md#term-Devel) development phase, they handle milestones such as Freezes and Beta to ensure that the Final Release will be in a good state. For [LTS releases](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/release-team/ubuntu-releases.md#lts-releases), the Release Team is also responsible for producing [Point releases](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/release-team/ubuntu-releases.md#point-releases) approximately every 6 months (until the next LTS). A subset of the Release Team is the [Canonical Release Management](https://launchpad.net/~canonical-ubuntu-qa) team. This group oversees the Canonical infrastructure that facilitates the Release Team’s work. ## How to contact the team The Release Team meets every two weeks. If there is anything you would like to bring to their attention, please contact them via their mailing list or Matrix channel: * Mailing List: [`ubuntu-release`](mailto:ubuntu-release@lists.launchpad.net) * Matrix: [#release:ubuntu.com](https://matrix.to/#/#release:ubuntu.com) Alternatively, if there is a bug they should review, subscribe the team and they will review on a regular basis. ## Service Level Objectives This team does not have defined Service Level Objectives.
