Issue 224
I'm back in the UK after speaking at Refresh Conf in Groningen, The Netherlands - slides here . It is quite definitely Autumn/Fall here now. Among other things I've been working on updating MDN docs for the upcoming Firefox 71 release, which contains things of interest to CSS Layout fans. More on that in the coming weeks.
Thank you to sponsor An Event Apart this week. My final conference of the year will be An Event Apart San Francisco, where I will have a brand new talk to share.
