# [Monthly roundup, February 2020](https://northern.tech/careers/blog/monthly-roundup-february-2020)
By Michael Clelland, 6th March 2020
February was a busy month at Northern.tech. Here’s a roundup of all we’ve been up to!
### Config management camp + FOSDEM
A few of our team traveled to Belgium for FOSDEM and Configuration Management Camp. [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org) (Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting) is a huge event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate, with the main purpose of promoting free and open source software. We went from there to [Configuration Management Camp](https://cfgmgmtcamp.eu) where we were mainly representing CFEngine – see Ole Herman and Vratislav’s talk below – while Mirza spoke about the challenges of device management in IoT.
As always it was a great chance to meet some of our community and discuss current trends and the future of our products.
### Mender planning week
Back in Oslo we invited our remote team to the office for two days of planning and social events. We had a busy agenda of planning Mender 2.4, before spending the evening with a fun activity – curling! Congrats to the red team on their victory!
### Product releases
We were happy to release [CFEngine patch](https://cfengine.com/company/blog-detail/cfengine-3-12-3-2-3-15-0-2-released) releases as well as [Mender 2.3 beta](https://mender.io/blog/mender-2-3-beta-easily-update-system-and-applications) this month, with even more release activity on the horizon during March.
### Embedded World, Nuremburg
Some of the Mender team traveled to [Embedded World 2020](https://www.embedded-world.de) to host a booth and present talks, as well as to meet current and potential users (and possibly sample the German pilsner!).
### Say hi to a new (official!) member of the team
Finally, we were able to welcome Igor to officially join the Northern.tech team as a remote full-stack developer. He has already been doing great work for us as an external consultant for a while, so we were glad to be able to recruit him full time. Welcome!
