TimeShift's Issue 48 highlights Grafana's participation in the Monitorama conference in Portland, where they engaged with a community of data and monitoring enthusiasts. During the week, Grafana released version 5.2.0-beta1, featuring enhancements like Elasticsearch alerting and improvements for ARM and Mac platforms, Docker images, Prometheus, and Discord alert notifications. The issue also discusses reactions to Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, with GitLab observing an initial spike in project migrations, and provides links to various blog posts related to Grafana and Prometheus installation and configuration. Additionally, it introduces new and updated plugins, including the Status Group By Panel and updates to the Breadcrumbs Panel, KairosDB Data Source, and Clickhouse Data Source. Grafana is hiring for positions in New York, Stockholm, and remotely, and they are sponsoring and attending events such as InfluxDays London 2018 and the Sensu Summit in Portland. The issue concludes with a call for feedback and engagement with the Grafana community through social media and their forum.
