• from https://twitter.com/CodingItWrong/status/1160913205289467904: I just updated my @emberjs Octane tutorial with the latest features from the last few months.

📆 Future stories

• From @jenweber: This is just a heads-up of an upcoming topic. In a couple weeks, we might have a community request for people to try out some features coming in canary. Someone from the framework team will let you know when the feature flags are enabled in master and will share a blurb about it. There will prob be a full blog post to link to.
• Next "I contribute to Ember" interviews: Michelle, Ryan (:lock: @amyrlam)
• part of @ijlee2's work on updating Octane documentation (I decided I want to finish writing the remaining parts first)
