📝 Ideas, feel free to add to list or claim!

• New RFC: Release a major version when any deprecations are removed emberjs/rfcs#512 (🔒 @chrisrng )
• Ember Electron Tutorial (5-part series) https://dev.to/mitchartemis/making-an-electron-app-with-ember-js-part-1-initial-setup-11c0 (🔏 @ijlee2)
• There was a bugfix in ember-auto-import that is noteworthy. It's not an "official" ember addon, but we do recommend it in the Guides/everywhere. See this note in the README https://github.com/ef4/ember-auto-import#i-upgraded-my-ember-auto-import-version-and-now-things-dont-import-what-changed. @jenweber can help answer any questions about it. It would be good to include an intro about what ember-auto-import does and maybe a link to the Guides on dependencies as well https://guides.emberjs.com/release/addons-and-dependencies/managing-dependencies/ (🔏 @jessica-jordan)
• Ember 3.11 is out! It includes new features like on and fn template helpers! Note that there is a patch underway for Ember Data to fix a generator command, plus work by the learninbg team to address missing docs issues. https://blog.emberjs.com/2019/07/15/ember-3-11-released.html
  A release is considered done when the blog post ships, since a release takes coordination between multiple libraries and teams. (🔏 @kennethlarsen )
• Using Prember to prerender an ember-data ember.js application as a static site: https://twitter.com/gaurav9576/status/1148308588764499968
• Sentry error reporting for Ember.js https://simplabs.com/blog/2019/07/15/sentry-and-ember/

📆 Future stories

• From @jenweber: This is just a heads-up of an upcoming topic. In a couple weeks, we might have a community request for people to try out some features coming in canary. Someone from the framework team will let you know when the feature flags are enabled in master and will share a blurb about it. There will prob be a full blog post to link to.
