<li><b>Felipe (Harvester):</b> Working with everyone on planning the next update. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming, stay tuned for a dev post about the 0.23 highlights soon. Also fixed a few small details here and there with R&D, upgraded the build servers to use Unity v4.2.2, and added a new dev tool that lets us bypass the main menu when we’re testing, which should make life a lot easier for us. I’ve also been going over all the feedback we’re getting on the R&D systems, and I’m very happy to see such a warm response from everyone about it. We certainly have a few tweaks still to make, but for a first-time implementation, this was far beyond even our most optimistic expectations. <br />
<li><b>Rob (N3X15):</b> Set up a test instance of Spaceport 2 for everyone else to play with. Still a lot to do, but fixed a few bugs and incompatibilities. Development on hold pending approval of some things by management. Otherwise, the usual fixing of issues and making sure the servers didn’t implode with 0.22.<br />
<li><b>Chad(C7):</b> Worked with Felipe and Mike on planning the implementation of 0.23 this week. I’m also testing Unity 4.2.2 as an upgrade to the base engine of KSP, and working with the QA team to resolve any issues or regressions there.<br />
<li><b>Alex (aLeXmOrA):</b> DevHrMx conference in Mexico City last Friday, fixing some Launcher bugs and issues with the new CDN implementation for downloads.<br />
<li><b>Daniel (DanRosas):</b> Vacation time.<br />
<li><b>Mike (Mu):</b> We’ve been planning the next update and I’ve been putting finishing touches to the performance enhancement branch. Implemented yet more speed boosts to a variety of systems.<br />
<li><b>Marco (Samsonart):</b> Once the update was out it was mainly teaching people how to update, explaining the principles of career mode to those who didn’t get it and of course get ready for the DevHr conference we had on Friday.<br />
<li><b>Miguel (Maxmaps):</b> After a small celebration with the release of 0.22, it's back to contacting people and letting them know about KSP. Had a blast at the DevHR conference down here in Mexico City. Video’s up for that but it’s in Spanish. <br />
<li><b>Bob (Calisker):</b> While last week was getting everything ready for update 0.22 launch, this week is about trying to make sure people know what the update is about and setting up some Let’s Play videos and streams so both old and new players are getting their chance to experience the first iteration of Career Mode.

<td class="cms_table_td"><b>Through The Telescope</b><br /><br />We have some very talented people playing KSP. Many videos, images and stories pop up regularly, but this is certainly the first time I've come across a recomposition of the main KSP theme. <a href="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/members/74339-BahamutoD" target="_blank">BahamutoD</a> has shared his interpretation of the KSP theme in metal. The result is a whole new interpretation from <a href="
