Developer News

It’s now spring/fall, and we are in Code Freeze.

Han Kang and folks are spinning up a new Structured Logging Migration WG to complete the changeover. Tim Allclair is stepping down as SIG-Auth lead and nominating Rita Zhang as chair.

The Monthly Community Meeting is changing formats to make it more useful for contributors, so bring your contentious development discussions with you. Meet Our Contributors is also coming back and is looking for hosts.
