[HOT] HOT Tech announcement | November 4th

[wille]

Hello Humanitarian OpenStreetMappers,

Get updated with the latest news from the HOT Tech Team.

*Tasking Manager 4.2.0 released*

We released a new version of Tasking Manager. The main highlight is the
enhancement on how the integrated iD is initialized, in order to make it
more reliable and avoid data errors. The iD editor version is now upgraded
to 2.19.4. We have also made some improvements to the project management
section. Check out the complete release notes
<https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/releases/tag/v4.2.0>.

*Hycinth, Lily and Diana join the Tech Team*

We have three new members on our team:

   -

   Hycinth Umaran is joining us as Scrum Master and Agile Coach and is
   based in Manilla, Philippines;
   -

   Lily Cheng is our new Senior Designer and is based in Los Angeles, USA;
   -

   Finally, Diana Nanyanzi is our new Junior Developer, and she is based in
   Kampala, Uganda.

They will help us to improve not only our technical solutions, but our way
of working with more creativity, diversity and agility. You can say hello
to them on Slack!

*Tech Working Group is reactivated*

Yesterday we had our first meeting of the Tech Working Group 2.0. We are
prototyping a new format for the gatherings, including a retrospective of
the past month, input on the HOT_tech backlog prioritisation and a forum to
share and discuss interesting tech topics. You can check the meeting notes
