📝 Ideas, feel free to add to list or claim!

• Possible thing for a future issue - very readers-questions-y discussion from Discuss. Originally shared by sukima in another channel https://discuss.emberjs.com/t/why-should-i-not-use-observers-in-my-ember-application/16868/3 (🔒@ijlee2)
• Also it could be cool to feature a teeny PR like https://github.com/ember-learn/guides-source/pull/919/files and highlight that it’s possible to click the edit pencil and submit a fix quickly (🔒 @MinThaMie )
• Also recent work by Vaidehi, Tom Dale, and Yehuda to convert our super rentals demo app to Octane. It’s not released yet but the “octane” branch has the work https://github.com/ember-learn/super-rentals. It’s better to link to PRs than the branch bc the branch will eventually get merged and deleted, talk to @jenweber for more infos (:lock: @jaredgalanis )
• Here's a community contribution to possibly cover next week! Update & fix api doc urls guides-source#952. The way I would put this is, for all versions of the Guides, we used to point to the latest release in the API docs urls, but now we match the Guides version with the API docs version! Look at the # of files changed, lol. The next step is to write a test that checks for 404 links. That way we'll know right away if a link is broken, in the future
• 8/8 This.Javascript GraphQL event (Chad and Rocky from Ember) (🔒 @amyrlam)
• Ember 2019-2020 Roadmap RFC (🔒 @chrisrng )
• EmberCamp announcement (🔏 @jessica-jordan)

📆 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.
• 8/13 This.Javascript State of Frameworks (Jen from Ember) https://www.thisdot.co/events/this-javascript-state-of-frameworks-08-2019 (🔒 @amyrlam)
• Next "I contribute to Ember" interviews: Michelle, Ryan (:lock: @amyrlam)
