As we head into September, we wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the great posts and back and forths that have been made on Discourse over the past month.
We will create a round-up of posts at the end of each month, sort of like a newsletter. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, either by creating a Topic or replying when you have insight.
Upcoming DCoP events
