+## Changes
+
+Changes are contributed via the [InnerSourcePatterns][] repository:
+
+* new pattern [Standard Release Process](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/releases/tag/v1.6) - thank you **@dgrizzanti**
+* translation to [Brazilian Portuguese](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/releases/tag/v1.7) - Thanks to the very awesome **@jrcosta @zilio @DanielleAlmeida** that made this happen.
+* additions of Known Instances (applications of our patterns in the wild)
+  * ADI to innersource-customer-interview-questions.md (initial pattern)
+  * GitHub to [Standard Release Process](https://patterns.innersourcecommons.org/p/release-process)
+*  experimenting with various tools to understand the contribution patterns of our community better. e.g. see [these stats](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues/625) - shout outs to **@zkoppert** not only for building these tools but also for helping us to integrate them into our repo  
+*  added a **welcome bot** to our repo, that greats new contributors and points them to helpful info about our contribution process - see [this example](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/pull/573)
+* by using gitbook's "monorepo approach", we are now able to deploying multiple translations in parallel via gitbook a lot easier 
+* added a new `COMMUNICATION-template.md` to streamline the communication to the **Standard Base Documentation** pattern. - thank you **@kschueths**
+
+## Things to come
+
+* Toying with the idea to add [Adopters pages](https://innersourcecommons.gitbook.io/innersource-patterns-staging/v/adopters-test/adopters/adopters) to our book. Goal: showcase the organizations and the patterns they use more prominently in our book. Looking for feedback! More [details here](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues/623).
+* Galician translation (released in 11/2023 therefore not part of this report yet)
+* hoping to integrate further PRs that were contributed some time back but we did not have time to review them properly (or the communication stopped somewhere)
+  * pattern proposal [Feature Owner](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/pull/573) by Manoj Gawande (@magawande) from Fidelty (part of FINOS?) - new contributor!
+  * proposal to add a [Code of Conduct template](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/pull/556) to the **Standard Base Documentation** pattern - by Jose Roman Martin Gil (@rmarting) from Red Hat - new contributor?
+
+## Trusted Committers (Community)
+
+* Last [Trusted Committer][] added was [@yuhattor](https://github.com/yuhattor) (added 2022-07-21)
+* Trusted Committer candidates in the pipeline: No
+* However fuelled by the translation process we have a couple of people that are taking ownership of keeping the translations in sync with the original patterns. Some of these [translation leads](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/blob/main/TRUSTED-COMMITTERS.md#translation-leads) might turn into Trusted Committers in the future.
