Thank you to everyone who stood in the April committee elections, and to those who took part by voting. As part of our standard post-election audit and checks, we are reviewing a small number of membership records to ensure the integrity of the results. To allow this review to complete, election results are now expected to be published tomorrow at around 12pm UTC as we are taking additional time to complete this work before confirming the outcome.

Technical Update ⚙️ cardano-db-sync-13.7.0.4 released DB Sync 13.7.0.4 supports node version 10.7.1. It provides major performance improvements in speed and memory. It supports LSM (experimentally for now), which brings memory requirements down to ~6 GB. github.com/IntersectMBO/c…
