Blog posts wanted! 🚨 We would like you to write a blog post to propose goals and direction for Ember for the next year. The content of these posts will help the Core Team to draft their next Roadmap RFC. Don't have a blog? #EmberJS2019 tweets or GitHub Gists are a-ok! Please share your posts by Monday, June 17th.

We are excited to announce that @rwwagner90 has joined the Learning Core Team and will continue to champion the work on Ember Inspector! 

You may recall that we featured Robert in a past issue as part of our "I contribute to Ember" series, where we interview members of our open source community. Congrats! 🎉

This is an experiment to see if using decorators and a separate service to manage query params is a feasible alternative to the existing query params implementation. It's a very early preview and is expected to have bugs. Should you choose to go on an adventure with this, please feel free to report weird, unexpected behavior. There is an older RFC (it proposed to add query params to the router service) that has been updated based on development of the ember-query-params-service addon. All feedback welcome! 😊

The Ember Times, one of your favourite news outlets about what's going on with Ember and its ecosystem, has just shipped its one hundredth (and first) edition! 🎉 The Ember Times now looks back at a long journey that started out over more than three years ago:

In its first release on May 2nd 2016, Ember Learning and Framework Core team member Ricardo Mendes, also known as @locks 🔒, wrote - among many other topics - about the motivation of the newsletter, the recent issue triaging work by @pixelhandler and the recent implementation efforts to get Glimmer 2, Ember's super-fast rendering engine, over the finish line. 🏁

Since the first issue The Ember Times gained over 1300 additional subscribers for the e-mail format delivered by Goodbits and many more readers on the official Ember blog and we'd like to thank all our interested readers who read, engage with and provide feedback for the news that we published so far.
