+		</h2>
+		<h4>Authored by Clark Boylan, November 18, 2024</h4>
+		<p>
+		Welcome to the latest Zuul project update! We’re excited to
+		share our progress, recent milestones, and what’s coming up
+		next. This post covers the key achievements from the past
+		quarter and gives a sneak peek into the upcoming work.
+		</p>
+
+		<h3>Key Achievements</h3>
+		<p>
+		Over the past several months, we released
+		<a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/releasenotes.html#relnotes-11-1-0">
+		Zuul 11.1.0</a>
+		and <a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/latest/releasenotes.html#relnotes-11-0-0">
+		Nodepool 11.0.0</a>. These milestones bring many improvements
+		including: significant performance improvements, new
+		configuration options supporting large project configurations,
+		better control over job inheritance, and more useful error
+		messages reported to users.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		Many more new features and bugfixes are detailed in the release
+		notes. Follow the links above and head over there to see
+		everything that is new.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		We’re thrilled to see these updates make it out to you via
+		our most recent releases. These performance improvements,
+		features, and bugfixes ensure that Zuul continues to be
+		flexible for all of your continuous integration and continuous
+		deployment needs.
+		</p>
+
+		<h3>What's Coming Up</h3>
+		<p>
+		Looking ahead, we’re excited about the next steps in the Zuul
+		journey. Here’s a preview of what to expect:
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		The Zuul web UI has been overhauled with these changes set
+		to be included in the next release. This update makes the web
+		UI much more responsive.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		Nodepool functionality will be
+		<a href="https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/developer/specs/nodepool-in-zuul.html">
+		rolled into Zuul</a>. This gives Zuul operators much more
+		flexibility in how they build images as well as the ability
+		to precheck images before deploying them.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		The Zuul team, in conjunction with the OpenDev team, is
+		working to ensure these new features work well before they
+		are released. The OpenDev Zuul deployment is deployed from
+		HEAD and includes many of these updates already. If you are
+		interested you can see and test these changes in OpenDev today.
+		</p>
+
