5. GSOC (last year) summary post ( @zigzagmlt )
6. Multiple persons recently left the project, or their position. A thank you article might be a good idea:

• Jabier left / is leaving (mainly LPE and user interface development, > 3000 commits, first commit Fri Dec 14 01:01:57 2012)
• Ryan taking a break (but that one is not final, so probably not for a news article)
• Bryce has left quite some time ago, but we could still thank him now?
• Combine that with a call to join
