+
+As we begin 2025, we want to share our ambitions for the API Enhancement
+Proposals (AEP) project. After a successful 2024 that saw the launch of several
+key tools and growing community engagement, our focus for 2025 is on
+stabilizing the specification while expanding the ecosystem of tools.
+
+## Specification and Standards
+
+A major milestone for 2025 will be the v0.1 release of the AEP specification.
+This represents the culmination of much work to adapt and expand the original
+API Improvement Proposals, with particular focus on resource-oriented design
+patterns that work across both Protocol Buffers and HTTP APIs. The 0.1 release
+will include support for the [standard methods](https://aep.dev/130/),
+long-running operations (LRO), and other
+[design patterns](https://aep.dev/general/#design-patterns) supported across
+our toolchain.
+
+## Tooling Releases
+
+Building on the specification, we will be releasing initial versions of core
+tools in 2025:
+
+- A production-ready version of the OpenAPI linter with coverage of the
+  standard methods, list-related patterns, and LROs of the 0.1 specification
+- An enhanced Protocol Buffer linter reflecting the latest AEP guidance
+- aepcli with LRO support of the 0.1 specification
+- The first official release of our Terraform provider
+- A stable release of aep-explorer for visually navigating AEP-compliant APIs
+
+## Community Growth
+
+In May, we plan on giving a talk about aep.dev at
+[API Days New York](https://www.apidays.global/new-york/). The video will be
+released online for those who would like to view but cannot attend.
+
+Building on the success of our 2024 barn raising, we are planning another
+community event after the 0.1 specification release. This will focus on helping
+organizations learn about the specification, enabling adoption of our
+specification and tools, and onboarding interested contributors to the project.
+
+## Longer-Term Goals
+
+In the second half of 2025, we'll focus on:
+
+- Stabilizing and potentially releasing version 0.1 of aepc, our toolkit for
+  generating service stubs from resource definitions
+- Expanding existing tooling based on real-world usage and feedback
+- Expanding and refining guidance
+
+Whether you are building new APIs or working to improve existing ones, 2025
+will be an exciting year to get involved with AEPs\! Join us in our mission to
+make APIs more consistent and maintainable across many industries.
+
+## Get Involved
+
+Join us:
+
+- On CNCF Slack in the
+  [\#aep](https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C04TX46UCTV) channel
+- At our weekly community meetings (Fridays at 11:30am PT)
+- Through our documentation at [aep.dev](http://aep.dev)
+- On GitHub at [github.com/aep-dev](http://github.com/aep-dev)
