Issue 188
I am still on the West Coast, in Seattle and spoke yesterday at An Event Apart. My talk is an exploration of overflow in CSS and the relationship between that and things that I really want to see happen - in particular a revisit of the Regions spec. The slides are linked below, no video yet but An Event Apart do video the presentations at one show a year so hopefully it will be recorded before I retire it.
After this I am off to run a workshop for Rustbelt Refresh before finally heading back to the UK.

Create an updated CSS Regions capability – Welcome to the Windows developer feedback site!
If you saw my An Event Apart talk or looked at the slides also linked this week you will see that I am talking about Regions, or regions-like things. There is an Edge Uservoice issue you can add your vote to if you would like this too.
