Newsletter 12: Coordination/Tracking

[ozkriff]

Feel free to suggest sections!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

• Grab one of the "🆓 free" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section_name_1} and {section_name_2}".
• Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 free (@ozkriff ?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
• Write a short overview:
  • Use provided links as a starting point.
  • Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
  • Insert line breaks (softbreak) at 80 chars, please.
  • Use third-person pronouns even if you write about your project updates.
  • DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
• Send a PR to the source branch (example: #75)
  • Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

I'm hoping to release this newsletter on 2020.08.03/04, so a soft deadline for all section PRs is Saturday (2020.08.01).
