Brandt has been a core contributor in the past several months, and many of us have come to rely on him for technical and strategic guidance. That doesn't even mention his comprehensive note-taking skills, which are a unique bonus he adds to keep our NA and EMEA community calls harmonized 😁

Closing as completed

[riaankleinhans]

@TheFoxAtWork would you OK with a further automation closing the issue once the vote passed and the announcement was posted in the GH Discussion?

[TheFoxAtWork]

Yep, one less thing to do, but we need to ensure we update the repo when these changes happen.
