Are the future stories still valid? Maybe we can clean house this week / next, as there will probably be a lot of new content with the post-EmberConf rush cc @jessica-jordan

Agreed! I think the Octane quotes would still be valuable in case we want to revisit the Octane topic in another special edition some time - if the team is up for it, we could maybe create a branch for that to be published some time in the next weeks / months and put the related future stories there - depending on how big the interest for another special is and how everyone's schedule is like. What are your thoughts in general?

👍 sounds good to me!
