    We're continuing with two weeks of development and two weeks of QA for the next sprint, and are prioritizing our product backlog to determine the issues to tackle. For that release (1.6.6), we're trying out a Trello board (https://trello.com/board/1-6-6/50cb80d9e1f88b1077007a17), so join us and see what we're up to!

    Of course, file any bugs you run into at https://github.com/AppScale/AppScale/issues for the main source and https://github.com/appscale/appscale-tools/issues for the tools source so that we can prioritize them and address them. You can also find us on #appscale on freenode if you run into problems or the like.

    And as always, thanks for using AppScale!
