+
+Welcome to this months monthly update (try to say this really fast :-) ) :
+
+ The computational module for AlphaBeta is coming along nicely. We cleaned
+  quite a lot of code and are starting the testing / comparing to reference results
+  (Matthias is working on this).
+  
+ Creation of idealised (test) topographies hit our public code base 
+  (see [github](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame)). With these functions the
+  creation of various types of topographies is a breeze (thanks Anna). Matching release areas
+  can also be automatically created for some topographies. Additionally we started
+  putting these topographies and matching release / entrainment areas into the
+  data folder (in case you don't want to run the code yourself).
+
+ The comparison tools/routines for AIMEC are on github now. This is the first
+  transfer of existing code, so Matthias is heavily working on this one. Expect a lot
+  of changes to happen here. 
+
+ The first functions for the computational module com1DFA (main dense flow
+  module) are public now. As of now the necessary executable is not yet
+  available, but expect it to hit the repository sometime around end of September. 
+
+ Various helper routines are included now:
+    + Configuration file reading and handling
+    + Log file creation and handling
+    + Project initialiser 
+    + Input data transfer scripts
+    + ...
+    
+ Documentation ([docs.avaframe.org](https://docs.avaframe.org)) is constantly 
+  being updated, current new additions / updates are
+  the AlphaBeta module, AIMEC module and generateTopo module. 
+  
+Thanks for following our project, 
+signing off for summer :-)
