## First Friday of November

As we leave October and start packing our halloween decorations, some of us can already hear the classic christmas songs playing in the distance. Almost no time left before we start hearing “All I want for Christmas is you” in every single store everywhere.

## Community and releases

As usual, we had a busy community day, happily merging up to 12 community Pull Requests. Big thanks to everyone for your contributions. We also had the chance to cut a release for Apache and a major one for Chocolatey, where we addressed some incompatibility issues.

## Steady work

Most of our team is still working on the background to complete some of our highest priority projects.
