+## Items of Note
+
+### Ponyc 0.58.11 Released
+
+Hey! Saturday [ponyc 0.58.11](https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/releases/tag/0.58.11) was released. You should update now.
+
+There was a use-after-free that was unlikely to be triggered but after 3 years of being possible was finally triggered by Red earlier in the week and then Dipin figured out the race condition in the code that I wrote that was supposed to be "race condition free". Right there, that is why Pony is awesome. No nasty data races. Ah well, I love my Pony, I love C. What ya gonna do?
+
+Hopefully, you are going to update, because a memory leak that was introduced in November was also fixed.
+
+Those two right there should be enough to get you to upgrade. If not, hey, then surely the runtime stats and runtime info fixes will get you in the door.
+
+And while you are updating, we suggest you sing [this little ditty](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiWzCU3AzQI) to Pony.
+
+### Pony Development Sync
+
+The recording from this week's Development Sync is now [available on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/1058598180).
+
+### Office Hours
+
+Monday was a holiday in the US and Canada. We had a lighter Office Hours contingent. Just Adrian, Red, and myself. There was some conversation about things. Mostly Pony related. It was good. Come join us.
