A currently mostly empty draft will be there soon:

Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition around the end of June 2025!

Thanks!

In the discussion about the previous edition, @AdityaGarg8 suggested:

We could talk about the recent development in send-email which added support for OAuth2 authentication.
(Assuming I understood what this rev is meant for correctly. Otherwise feel free to ignore it ;) )

It all started with a 2 years old patch which was not reviewed, and I resubmitted it. I additionally added support for Microsoft Outlook message ID threading. This lead to a crazy ride where I worked with the maintainer of perl Authen::SASL to add support for OAuth2.0, rather than send email, added support for Outlook in send email and finally made some nice credential helpers for these new methods for send email.

I think outlook users like me who were struggling a lot with send email will benefit from this development.

Hi there - the Git Merge 2025 speaker list and schedule was just announced if that's appropriate to mention. Thanks!

chriscool commented

Hi @leereilly, I agree we should mention those Git Merge 2025 news. Thanks!

@leereilly and @jnareb I have created #782 about Git Merge 2025 speakers and schedule. Let's discuss further in that PR.

Excuse the delay. I just got around to incorporating the interview with @lucamilanesio in this month's edition via e544d84. It is a bit long but I thought of retaining it as-is as it seems to read well to me. Let me know in case we need to trim the length of the interview. I'll check on the same.

chriscool commented

@sivaraam thanks, I agree that it reads well as-is, and shouldn't be trimmed.

Thanks @jnareb for the great links!

Could you take a look at #782 about Git Merge 2025 speakers and schedule?

@jnareb, actually it looks like you approved and @mjaix just merged it. Thanks both!

chriscool commented

Sorry @AdityaGarg8, I forgot about your suggestion. Maybe I will write about it next month.

@mjaix thanks for your fixes in 880257a. They look good to me.

jnareb commented

By the way, wouldn't it be better to have information about Git Merge in "Events" subsection instead of in "Various" subsection of "Other News"?

chriscool commented

@jnareb feel free to move it to the "Events" subsection if you think it's better there.

@stenem thanks for your fixes in f831155 and e59c9f0!
