We could talk about the accepted GSoC contributors for GSoC 2025.

We could talk about the recent development in send-email which added support for OAuth2 authentication.
(Assuming I understood what this rev is meant for correctly. Otherwise feel free to ignore it ;) )

It all started with a 2 years old patch which was not reviewed, and I resubmitted it. I additionally added support for Microsoft Outlook message ID threading. This lead to a crazy ride where I worked with the maintainer of perl Authen::SASL to add support for OAuth2.0, rather than send email, added support for Outlook in send email and finally made some nice credential helpers for these new methods for send email.

I think outlook users like me who were struggling a lot with send email will benefit from this development.

@AdityaGarg8 thanks for the suggestion! It's a bit too late for this edition that I will publish in a few hours, but I will consider writing an article about this in next edition. Alternatively feel free to contribute an article yourself.
