Just answering this: I haven't summarised because it was simply impossible without creating a bias in my posting, and I won't do that.
There are not as many "updates" and "releases" these days, and I didn't want to do just one link posts.
I have also been busy with many projects and committees, so just couldn't
I don't want to come across as criticizing you. You do your summaries out of the goodness of your heart, and you don't owe us anything. I can't imagine how much of your time it took to do them, so thank you for everything you do!

At the moment we are going through quite a stressful period, and I want to point out that:

b) there is a lot happening behind the scenes that doesn't make sense to show until things are finished (for instance lots of work on the AE)
c) We're slowly becoming more organised
