It's sitewide email update time again, and we have lots to talk about! We added staged folder functionality and made Allura the default for all new projects. We opened up a place for community contributed documentation, and published a Code of Conduct. Have you filled out our user survey yet? You could win a $100 ThinkGeek gift card! Speaking of our sister company ThinkGeek, there are job opportunities available there and at SourceForge, too. And finally, big congrats to iTalc for being our POTM. More details on all these topics below. Thanks for reading; you rock! No, really. You do.

We've added a new feature to the (now default) Allura interface: staged folders. These are folders where you can temporarily store files before release. You can read more about this feature to get started using them. Enjoy!
We know you people are smart, and have a lot of knowledge to share with your fellow users. That's why we have opened up a section of our documentation for contributions from the community. We'd love to have you join our Community Documentation Team!
We also felt like it was important to have a Code of Conduct to which our users should adhere, so take a minute to read through it. We want our community here to be open, welcoming, and fun, and we think this is a step in the right direction.
We are conducting a user survey, and if you take the 5 minutes to answer a few questions, you could win one of 25 $100 gift cards to ThinkGeek! Yay! Get more information or go ahead and take the thing.
Coming up, we'll be at:
- Ohio LinuxFest (Columbus, OH, September 9-11)
- Kiwi PyCon (Wellington, NZ, Aug 27-28)
Hope to see you there! Do you have an event for our Calendar of Open Source Events? Let me know!
Cheers!
