 Melanie talked about empowering other people to feel included. This, to her, was the key to scaling yourself since you can only do so much as an individual. Inclusion to get other people involved will effectively create _“clones”_ of yourself. This is how she participates in a vision that is shared by helping create a community.

 Melanie mentioned how she practices **Servant Leadership** which she described as “not asking anyone to do something that I wouldn’t do myself.” This goes with the ethos Ember represents which is to invest in the long term by working with others so that they may feel welcome and contribute back into the community.
 
 Sam and Melanie then talked about the native accessibility story for Ember going through the [ARIA spec](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA) and seeing if it makes sense to implement it in Ember. There are loads of opportunities here as even having a modal or select dropdown be both accessible and customizable would be a huge leap for web developers. Having that built into Ember by default will be a game changer.

+Привет Emberistas! 🐹
+
+Read either on the [Ember blog](https://emberjs.com/blog/tags/newsletter.html) or in our [e-mail newsletter](https://the-emberjs-times.ongoodbits.com/) what has been going on in Emberland this week.
+
+Have a look into the next year of Ember with the **official 2018 Roadmap RFC** 🌆 and read up on plans for **Module Unification with Ember Addons** 🐹. We also **prompt** ❗️you to check out **Ember CLI Update** for fresh ✨ updates and last, but not least, we have a **brand-new 🔥 Readers' Question** 🌿 in for you this week:

+## [RFC: Ember 2018 Roadmap 🛣](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/364)
+
+[Tom Dale](https://github.com/tomdale) published an [RFC (Request for Comments)](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/364) for the Ember 2018 Roadmap based on the feedback collected from the [#EmberJS2018 call for blog posts](https://www.emberjs.com/blog/2018/05/02/ember-2018-roadmap-call-for-posts.html) earlier this year. Tom identified 3 key goals for Ember in 2018 along with 2 real world use cases to focus on.
+
+### Goals:
+
+**1. Improve communication and streamline decision-making, and empower new leaders.**
+Make users feel empowered to become contributors and at the same time expanding and refining the core team structure which includes mentoring new leaders and cross-pollinating knowledge between teams.
+
+**2. Finish the major initiatives that we’ve already started.**
+Add extension points to allow popular new tools to be quickly adopted in Ember apps and standardize around ES modules and npm packages to better enable the sharing of Ember tools with the wider JavaScript community.
+
+**3. Ship a new edition, Ember Octane, focused on performance and productivity.**
+Tell the story of modern Ember by shipping a new edition of Ember that has compatibility with new JavaScript language features like native classes, decorators, and async functions by default.
+
+### Use Cases:
+
+**1. Productivity apps**
+Ember’s historical strength: sophisticated, highly interactive apps that users spend a lot of time in, getting things done.
+
+**2. Content apps**
+Text-heavy pages where the first load is critical. In performance-constrained environments, Ember’s strong conventions can help developers build faster apps by default.

+## [RFC: I Promise You It's Good](https://github.com/fivetanley/rfcs/blob/deprecate-promise-object-save/text/0000-ember-data-return-promise-from-ds-model-save.md)
+
+[A new proposal](https://github.com/fivetanley/rfcs/blob/deprecate-promise-object-save/text/0000-ember-data-return-promise-from-ds-model-save.md) by [Stanley Stuart](https://github.com/fivetanley) to return a promise from `DS.Model.save()` is ready for you to read and comment.
+
+The idea here is to make `DS.Model.save()` return an `RSVP.Promise` instead of a `PromiseObject`. This is to remove the dependency on promise proxies, improve async consistency and enable new functionality in Ember Data.
+
+The only drawback of this is if you are already relying on this behaviour you’ll probably have to refactor your code to either use patterns like `async/await` or [ember-concurrency](http://ember-concurrency.com/).
+
+[Read the whole proposal](https://github.com/fivetanley/rfcs/blob/deprecate-promise-object-save/text/0000-ember-data-return-promise-from-ds-model-save.md) and share your thoughts.

+## [Module Unification with Ember Addons](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/367) 🎁
+
+[Module Unification Packages](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/367) is a new RFC, created by [@mixonic](https://github.com/mixonic), that sets out to describe how Ember apps and addons will migrate to the new [Module Unification](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/blob/master/text/0143-module-unification.md) structure from the classic structure. This RFC iterates on and is set to replace another RFC called [Module Unification Namespaces](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/309) which had some syntax, like the `::` syntax, that proved problematic.
+
+This RFC proposes to add a new `{{use}}` helper. This helper imports components from an addon into an application's template. This helper provides a subset of the functionality of the JavaScript imports that we are used to, albeit with a slightly different syntax.
+
+An example: In this template the `{{use}}` helper imports a component `Widget` from the `gadget` addon.
+
+```handlebars
+{{! invokes node_modules/gadget/src/ui/components/Widget/component.js }}
+
+{{use Widget from 'gadget'}}
+<Widget @options={{someOptions}} @value={{someValue}} />
+```
+
+Something else that is proposed in this RFC is the use of a template `prelude.hbs` that, **at compile time**, will be injected into every template in the app. This can be used to inject global components such as the widely used `{{t 'token'}}` component used for *internationalization*.
+
+Services also get some **appreciation** in this RFC. The suggestion is that all service injections from an addon to an app will need to be explicit about their source package. This results in more verbosity, but also greater clarity and opportunity for optimizations.
+
+An example:
+
+```js
+export default Ember.Component.extend({
+
+  // inject src/services/geo.js
+  geo: inject(),
+
+  // inject node_modules/ember-stripe-service/src/services/store.js
+  checkoutService: inject('stripe', { package: 'ember-stripe-service' }),
+
+  // inject node_modules/ember-simple-auth/src/services/session.js
+  session: inject({ package: 'ember-simple-auth' })
+
+});
+```
+
+There are also some proposals regarding `owner` APIs such as `owner.lookup()` and `owner.factoryFor()` which have also become more explicit.
+
+All in all this **very well written** RFC is a great chance to learn about possible changes to Ember and the Module Unification structure.
+If you have any concerns or questions feel free to ask in the [RFC issue](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/367) and join in on the conversation by visiting the [`#st-module-unification` channel](https://embercommunity.slack.com/messages/C5JN29NTC/) on the Ember.js Community Slack.
+
+This RFC is not complete and is a bit rough around the edges but it is a step in the right direction and will hopefully be finalized soon so that we can start using it in an Ember version in the near future.
