What is Skedda?
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
What is GitHub?
GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.
GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.

Skedda
5.0COLLAB
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
◆ Current state
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
◆ Where it's heading
Skedda is extending from desk and room booking into front-desk work, with visitors becoming a second product line beside the booking data and integrations. Document signing replaces a separate tool many offices use at reception.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Visitor Management features, such as host notifications or ID checks, and visitor events added to the webhooks. The entries don't show pricing changes for the add-on.

10.0DEVOPSCOLLAB
GitHub sets a December 8 cutoff for ARM32 Actions runners and opens AI Scan to the API.
◆ Current state
GitHub's week splits between Copilot supply and platform upkeep. Claude Fable 5.2 and Gemini 4 Carbon reached general availability in Copilot, issue types reached personal-account repositories, and enterprise GitHub Apps can assign Copilot seats. Since then it has added REST control over code scanning's AI Scan, a Cloudflare service-token detector and direct links to public monitoring alerts, and announced that hosted Actions runners stop running ARM32 jobs on December 8.
◆ Where it's heading
Two deadlines now land on December 8: Dependabot alerts pausing on year-idle repositories and the end of ARM32 job execution on hosted runners. GitHub is pruning what it supports while putting its AI security features behind APIs that organizations can script.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Scan to move from public preview toward general availability with more organization-level controls, and more retirement notices timed around December 8.
