Package direction updates September 2021
Why is this change being made?
It's time for another update to the community. This time I'd like to focus on a few different topics.
- Welcome new team members to the Package group and share open positions for engineering.
- Share the efficacy of our recent focus on performance and reliability.
- Discuss transparency and how things can get lost.
- In order to make things more clear, I'd like to highlight the backlog cleanup, documentation updates (maturity, getting started) prioritization matrices, call for feedback.
- Finally I'd like to explain what we are working on next for each category.
- Thank everyone.
