We are pleased to announce that both Ember.js 1.3.0 and the first beta in the 1.4 series
have been released. This comes as the third cycle of our six-week release
process that began after 1.0 was released.

Although most of our collaboration takes place on Github, IRC
(#emberjs on freenode.net), and our Discourse site
the Ember.js Core Team meets privately every
Friday at 2pm EST/11am PST through Google Hangout for a weekly
discussion of all things Ember.
If you have a topic you'd like to see covered, contact your favorite
core team member and let them know!

Every few months, the Ember core team likes to get together to discuss
issues face-to-face and set our priorities for the following quarter.
This time, we all converged on Portland, Oregon for the weekend to
figure out where to focus our energy in 2014.
Build Tools & Modules
We spent the majority of our time discussing a unified plan that
combines ES6 modules with fast, robust, full-featured build tools for
Ember developers.
