SD Times Names Cadence Open Source Project of the Week​

In April Cadence was named as open source project of the week by the SD Times. Being named gives the project some great publicity and means the project is getting noticed. You can find a link to the article in the Cadence in the News section below.

If you haven’t seen the proposal from community member Quanzheng Long about creating a new way to write Cadence workflows then please take a look:https://github.com/cadence-workflow/cadence/issues/4785. He has already received some initial feedback and is currently working on putting together a proof of concept demo to show the community. As soon as we have more news about it - we will let you know!
