DevRel/Community

Only a few things from me today!

I’m submitting the ticket internally to have the Habitat slack shut down today. If you’ve got anything you want to grab from there still, now’s the time.

We should be ready to transfer the discourse content from forums.habitat.sh to discourse.chef.io by the end of next week, so keep an eye out for that.

I also wanna thank @robbkidd for making #cooking , ’cause that’s been an absolute delight.

This week’s releases

@tas50 posted a Cookstyle update here: https://discourse.chef.io/t/cookstyle-7-released/17896

it’s got a pretty massive change in how cops are named, but it’s gonna be awesome in practice.
