+
+October marked the third AsyncAPI Conference, this time an online edition. As someone fortunate enough to be extensively involved in organizing the conferences, I saw the challenges that came with in-person events. 
+It gave me the idea to propose bringing back the online edition as part of the AsyncAPI Conference brand. We're glad and excited that we received positive results, with over 330 views from attendees who watched and engaged with us.
+
+I want to express my gratitude to our financial sponsors, [Gravitee.io](https://www.gravitee.io/) and [Postman](https://www.postman.com/), as well as to the speakers for their engaging talks and the conference volunteers (*be sure to check out the Hall of Fame section*). [I encourage you to watch the recorded sessions if you missed the event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGn8v0yBfOI&t=1895s). A playlist of the talks and their slides will also be available on the [conference website](https://conference.asyncapi.com/).

+## AsyncAPI Community Building and Maintainance Goals Proposal 2025
+As we approach the end of 2024, we have a proposal outlining the community building and maintenance goals we should prioritize in 2025. Please note that the AsyncAPI community manager will manage and oversee these goals. The goals are poised to address some of the challenges our community is facing, such as the limited number of maintainers and the lack of onboarding materials, and pave the way for a more vibrant and thriving community.
+
+I encourage everyone to participate in the open discussion and share your thoughts and solutions. [Please take a moment to review the open PR related to the AsyncAPI Community Building Goals for 2025](https://github.com/asyncapi/community/pull/1575).
+
+## AsyncAPI Conference's

Please share your thoughts and suggestions for locations for the upcoming year in the [AsyncAPI Conference 2025 open discussion](https://github.com/asyncapi/community/issues/1571). Your input is valuable to us!
+
+### AsyncAPI Conference Rebranding
+
+## Spec x Tooling
+We're thrilled to announce that Glee has been migrated to a monorepo structure and is moving its core functionality to a new package called Gleequore, inspired by the Italian word "cuore," which means "heart." 
+This change will allow developers to leverage Glee's features without using the full framework, facilitating integration with platforms like Remix and Next.js. 
+We're also working on creating a "Glee for the browser" by extracting protocol adapters to support HTTP and WebSocket clients, overcoming current limitations. Kudos to [Fran Mendez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmvilas) and all the Glee maintainers for their amazing work!
+
+[The packages are now available on the Glee repo](https://github.com/asyncapi/glee/tree/master/packages); be sure to try it out.
+
+
+## AsyncAPI Conference Hall of Fame
+I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible volunteers who generously dedicated their skills and time to ensure the success of the Online Conference. From developers and designers to those working both on-stage and off-stage, their efforts made the planning and execution of the event seamless.
