  %h3 Release Post Scheduling
  Each month a Product Manager will #{link_to "lead the release post authorship", "../#authorship"}, and a Product Marketing Manager will #{link_to "lead the messaging", "../#messaging-lead"}. Other members will be responsible for the structural check, copy edit, and social media posts. For each  monthly release, there are also technical #{link_to "Release Managers", "https://about.gitlab.com/community/release-managers/"} who support the effort.
