-Welcome to Day 8 of our ongoing thirty-day blog post challenge toward the **Uppy 1.0 release on April 25**! Yesterday was the 1st of April, the day we really kickstarted our coding speedrun towards 1.0
+Welcome to Day 8 of our ongoing thirty-day blog post challenge toward the **Uppy 1.0 release on April 25**! Yesterday was the 1st of April, but we had no time for fooling around! The entire team was present for our weekly call, which was again fully dedicated to discussing Uppy progress.
 
-The entire team during the weekly call yesterday iterated on the whole process again, moving a lot of cards from the `todo` lane to the `in progress` lane. This is what our board currently looks like.
+During the call, a lot of cards were moved from the `To Do` lane into the `in progress` lane — and some are even already `done`. We also added a few `new` tasks related to language packs for Uppy, where we'll be asking our own team members to update a locale of their own language. We hope the rest of them will be picked up by the community!

-- [Evgenia](https://github.com/lakesare) made list items even out using the `justify-content: space-between` CSS property.
+- [Evgenia](https://github.com/lakesare) made sure that file previews now form an even spread across the width of the dashboard, using the `justify-content: space-between` CSS property.
 
 ## In Progress
 
-- We are currently investigating an issue with `tuts-js-client` which affects uploads where the file size is larger than 500MB as reported in this [issue](https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client/issues/146).

-- We are investigating more on `tus-js-client` fingerprints as they are identical for each file on React Native, the team is figuring out how to properly identify files on that platform, because [the standard file properties that tus-js-client relies on](https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client/blob/master/lib/fingerprint.js#L10) are not available.

 - We have our first WIP screenshot for the React Native implementation.

-- Arthur is working on trying a 600MB upload, see if it crashes as reported in `tus-js-client` issue. Then set chunkSize, test the upload again and report back findings so we'll evaluate next steps.

-- Abdel is working on fixing the serverless examples where WebSockets are terminated when Uppy is deployed to Lambda
+- Artur is trying to execute a 600MB upload and then see if it crashes, as reported in a `tus-js-client` issue. After that, he will set chunkSize, test the upload again, and report back his findings so we can evaluate our next steps.
 
-- Evgenia is working on applying for [Browserstack's](https://www.browserstack.com/open-source?ref=pricing) Open source program, so we can test Uppy more and make sure 1.0 is without any issues.
+- [Abdel](https://transloadit.com/about/#abdel) is busy fixing the serverless examples where WebSockets are terminated when Uppy is deployed to Lambda
 
-- Ife is writing tests for implementation of the `tus-js-client`  URL storage
+- Evgenia is working on applying for [Browserstack](https://www.browserstack.com/open-source?ref=pricing)'s open-source program, so we can hopefully test Uppy even more and make sure that 1.0 is without any issues.
