+
+## [📜 Modern EmberData](https://runspired.com/2024/01/31/modern-ember-data.html)
+
+Chris Thoburn ([@runspired](https://github.com/runspired)) walks you through one of the key changes that come with RequestManager that highlights the advantages of the changing architecture, as well as tease a bit of what is still to come: **All requests should use EmberData**. The [blog post](https://runspired.com/2024/01/31/modern-ember-data.html) will highlight what's to come and what has happened over the last years to set EmberData up to be ready for the future that is schema and spec-driven.

+
+## ✨ All addons to v2
+
+With all the work on embroider more and more addons are publishing major versions in which they upgrade to be a v2 addon.
+
+This week we highlight:
+
+- [ember-cli-flash (v5.0.0)](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/ember-cli-flash/releases/tag/v5.0.0-ember-cli-flash) is an Ember addon that adds a flash message service and component to your app and is now also a v2 addon.
+- [ember-set-helper (v3.0.0)](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/ember-set-helper/releases/tag/v3.0.0-ember-set-helper). The `{{set}}` helper returns a function that sets a value. This can be used in combination with Ember's `{{on}}` modifier or component actions to update the state without having to write your own custom action.
+- [ember-concurrency (v4.0.0)](https://github.com/machty/ember-concurrency/releases/tag/4.0.0) has been converted to a v2 addon and ships Glint types.

+## [📚 Learning EmberJS at AuditBoard](https://abengineering.medium.com/learning-emberjs-at-auditboard-aebb8ade97b1)
+
+Jacob Beltran ([@jacob-beltran](https://github.com/jacob-beltran)) joined AuditBoard about 1,5 years ago and was surprised to find EmberJS being used "still". In this [blog post](https://abengineering.medium.com/learning-emberjs-at-auditboard-aebb8ade97b1), he will highlight why he decided to work with Ember.
+
+1. Good people make you better.
+2. Interesting problems are framework-agnostic.
+
+And he leaves us with an important lesson: "Sometimes **leveling up** means taking a step back and **becoming a beginner** again.".

+
+## [🐹 Help the adopted-ember-addons](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/program-guidelines/issues/28)
+
+Melanie Sumner ([@MelSumner](https://github.com/MelSumner)) asks for your help! In the Ember community, we believe that it's important to care for addons that need a new maintainer. This is why we have the [Adopted Ember addons program](https://github.com/adopted-ember-addons/program-guidelines). Currently, this program is caring for a lot of addons that are not all in line when it comes to release processes, their CI workflow, and branch names. If you are willing to help review PRs, submit PRs to improve addons, or even evaluate addons for retirement, please reach out to Melanie Sumner ([@MelSumner](https://github.com/MelSumner))!
