Git Migration Status Update
My first official issue as the new project manager for the Git Migration was to write the Status Update. I began by trying to summarize the complex, technical history of the project, but I've come to realize that most of the history is already documented. If you're interested in where the migration team has been, check out the Detailed Background at the end of this post.
Meanwhile, here’s the update I think people are really looking for:

Drupal Design Camp LA conference on February 5-6, 2011 in Los Angeles, California
Design for Drupal comes to LA! The first annual Drupal Design Camp LA conference is officially scheduled for February 5-6, 2011, in Los Angeles, California.
Registration for Drupal Design Camp LA is done at http://2011.ddcla.org and you're welcome to sign up. Registering for the conference is as simple as signing up for an account. We'll be launching the full site soon with information about the venue, local hotels, restaurants and coffeeshops, and begin accepting session proposals.
The Drupal Design Camp LA conference follows in the footsteps of the Drupal Design Camps at Standford, in Boston and in Prague, which have successfully brought designers, themers, developers, information architects and usability engineers together. These conferences are just like DrupalCamps but offer sessions and presentations specifically about design and theming topics such as grid design, usability testing, sustainable, additive approaches to theming and so on.
What's Design for Drupal?
Translating a design into a Drupal "theme" is often a high barrier and it has been difficult and costly for many designers to have a "design-driven approach" to Drupal. Feedback from the design community has often focused on the difficulties of designing for the Drupal theme system, which combines several programming disciplines and languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
Design for Drupal is a relatively new movement in the Drupal community to help make Drupal more friendly and approachable to designers, information architects and usability engineers, and in general anyone who is interested in customizing Drupal's output to the web page. At its core, Design for Drupal is about inviting the larger design community together to be a part of the Drupal community and enabling designers, usability engineers, developers, information architects and themers to coordinate efforts, come up with creative ideas and work towards making Drupal easier to use and look beautiful.

Aegir 0.4 Alpha 13 released
The Aegir project would like to present our 0.4 alpha 13 release. This release is primarily a bug fix release, fixing the site imports which have been causing issues with alpha 12.
New in this release is the ability to specify a makefile when you create a platform, which can be either a file on the hostmaster filesystem or a URL. Aegir will automatically build the platform from the specified makefile when it attempts to verify the path, and detects that it is not there.
Features:
#373062 : 0.4 - automate platform creation
