+### Last Week in Pony - June 29, 2025
+
+There will be no Last Week in Pony post next week. I'll be traveling and can't write it. The next post will be on July 6th.
+
+### Pony 0.60.0 Release
+
+We're still working toward the Pony 0.60.0 release. We've hit some serious oddness when trying to build and test `ponyup` on Windows for Arm. You can follow the progress in the [PR](https://github.com/ponylang/ponyup/pull/325). Once we sort that out, [a few tasks remain](https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/issues/4690).
+
+At this point, we should be doing a release sometime in July or by August at the latest.
+
+### Office Hours
+
+This past Office Hours was Red, Adrian, and me. We went over some generics issues that line up with the FAQ question [How can I write code that works for every kind of Number in Pony?](https://www.ponylang.io/faq/code/#code-for-all-numbers). The given solutions didn't work because Adrian needed `pi` to be defined on `FloatingPoint`, which it currently isn't. This will be a topic of discussion at a future sync.
+
+We all agreed that we don't see any reason the methods that F32 and F64 share shouldn't all be defined on `FloatingPoint`.
+
+A note about the June 30th Office Hours: I'll be traveling and won't be able to host Office Hours. The Zoom link will still work, so you can meet with fellow Pony users without me.
