This week we have successfully shipped Ghost 0.5.3, whoop! Please see the [release blog post](https://ghost.org/changelog/ghost-0-5-3/) for more details on that.

In the meeting we introduced a minor update to our workflow, where we now have [3 milestones on GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/milestones?ref=ghost.org), which roughly corrolate to the [public roadmap](https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap?ref=ghost.org):

- Current Backlog - which contains \~10 high priority items that are currently being worked towards or are very much wanted for the next release
- Next Backlog - other lower priority issues which are ready to be worked on and free to pickup
- Future Backlog - issues which aren't ready to be worked on yet.

We placed 9 items into the Current Backlog for now - we want to keep it around \~10 and as features are completed, we'll add in bugs or amendments. This effectively acts like a monthly sprint with the aim being to release new features and refill the backlog every 4 weeks or so.

There are 2 items in the Current Backlog, [#4262](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/4262?ref=ghost.org) and [#4263](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/4263?ref=ghost.org) which need a champion to work on them. They are both updates to the API needed to ship important features. We'd love to see a new contributor come along and give us a hand with these!

## Full details:

The full logs of the meeting are available from Slimer, our IRC bot (who is also on [GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Slimer?ref=ghost.org) by the way!).

## What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #ghost channel on freenode. In this meeting we discuss progress, important issues, and what is and isn't on [the Roadmap](https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap?ref=ghost.org). It's a chance for everyone to get involved and have their say about where Ghost goes next.

Hope to see you at next week's meeting: [Tuesday 28th October, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2014-10-28,270,6bj).
