 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+In November, the [[community:conferences:summit_2021|2021 Virtual VuFind Summit]] was held, and several tickets were added and updated based on the Summit's roadmapping session. All slides from the Summit have been posted on [[community:conferences:summit_2021|the event's wiki page]], along with a link to video recordings (which, as of this writing, are still in the process of being added).
+Further progress was made on VuFind's video editing backlog, with full video posted from the [[community:conferences:summit_2019|2019 VuFind Summit]], and all outstanding [[:videos|video tutorials]] completed (bringing the total to 21 tutorials).
+This month also saw the release of [[:changelog#release_802_-_11_29_2021|VuFind 8.0.2]], another minor bug fix release that patches a handful of issues discovered since the release of 8.0.1.
+The month's code changes include more bug fixes/improvements, the completion of the Armenian translation, various ILS driver improvements, and the introduction of a new admin-oriented API for cache clearing. A development branch for VuFind 9.0 has been established so that work on the next major release can begin in parallel with feature enhancements for VuFind 8.1.
+The [[community:roles_and_responsibilities#project_management_committee|Project Management Committee]] has opened a [[https://surveys.americangeosciences.org/index.php/556999|survey about Discovery Platform Use]], intended to help understand community needs/preferences and prioritize future work.
