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

• 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.
  • The purpose of that PR is to freeze the version urls because in 3.11, a bunch of docs moved around in the file structure for Ember Data
  • And there are known issues with 3.11 links and “defined ins” that are still being worked on, so we thank people for their patience (🔒 @ijlee2 )
• 8/13 This.Javascript State of Frameworks (Jen from Ember) https://www.thisdot.co/events/this-javascript-state-of-frameworks-08-2019 ... For This.JavaScript I’d make sure to describe what the event is, with a nod to the opportunity for people in the JS community to all learn from each other and connect (🔒 @amyrlam)

📆 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)
