Hi Spring fans! What a week it's been! When we last spoke I was in Capetown, South Africa or Johannesburg, South Africa. I've since been to Mauritius, back to Capetown, Serbia (for the amazing ITKonekt conference) and I'm now staring at the beautiful Bund river in beautiful Shanghai, China as I write this.

We've got a ton to get to this week, as usual, so let's get to it.

• Hi Spring fans! Welcome to yet another installment of Spring Tips, this one on the just-released-in-master support for RSocket Messaging in Spring Boot 2.2. It's here! It's finally here! I was so excited to see this land and I hope you get a chance to try it out.
