Welcome back to the September edition of the "Community Q&A Monthly Digest", in which we are curating some of the Q&A that we think it might be helpful to you. Thank you for posting your questions and helping your fellow LoopBack users.

The LoopBack Slack community is a platform where LoopBack users are helping each other out. If you haven't joined already, sign up today!

Let's take a look at some of the questions and answers from the community.

Almost two years ago, LoopBack 4 was released and announced at Node+JS Interactive event. Thanks to your support, we now have over 110k downloads per month on npmjs.com and over 3000 GitHub stars on the loopback-next repo. Recently, we created the LoopBack Slack community to provide a platform for the community and us helping each other. We are glad to see an increasing engagement in that front as well!

With the core of the framework maturing and contributions shifting to the LoopBack extensions, we think LoopBack has entered a new stage and it's time to revisit our approach to planning work, delivering features, fixing bugs, and improving documentation.

Since the beginning of the LoopBack project, we have been using the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) as the contribution method. Contributors need to sign each CLA for each LoopBack repository they're contributing. To simplify the contribution process and encourage community contributions, we are planning to gradually switch to use Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) as the contribution method.

In the past, we've explored a few options on providing a forum for our users to help each other: Google group, Gitter and GitHub. We are pleased to announce that the LoopBack Slack workspace, https://loopbackio.slack.com/, is available for our users to join. Since Slack is quite commonly used, we thought it would be a good time for us to modernize our tooling for the LoopBack community helping out each other out. Also, the LoopBack core team uses Slack on a daily basis; it is helpful because it allows us to get notifications and communicate efficiently.

There have been lots of great questions and answers. We thought it would be helpful to curate some of the discussions here. Thanks again for submitting the questions and answers!

2019 was surely an exciting and rewarding year for LoopBack. We received the "Best in API Middleware" award from API World, our LB4 downloads on npmjs.com increased more than double compared to the year before. Moreover, we are thrilled to learn that many of you had deployed LoopBack 4 applications in production! In case you missed our 2019 review, make sure you check it out. As 2020 begins, we would like to share with you our high-level goals for this year. Things might change or shift throughout the year, but here is our plan.

As 2019 draws to a close, we're continuing our annual tradition of celebrating the hard work that the LoopBack team achieved in the past year. As you might expect, developing LoopBack 4 was the main focus, with events, updates and "how to" content adding flavour to the mix. That focus has resulted in a lot of improvements and features for the framework, as well as quality interaction with the LoopBack community.

Grab your seasonal beverage of choice, whether hot or cold, and read on for a trip down 2019 memory lane!
