Hi everyone,
I just stumbled upon this thread, and let me start off by issuing an apology to Helmic, Papa, Squash, and all members of the community involved. We as devs and CAs have the mission to foster constructive and friendly discussions. We are not meant to take sides and engage with members of the community. For this, I apologize.
For the CAs and devs, we represent this community, and we are here to serve the community. We are a team. If there are issues or disagreements, please direct them to Jess and I, and we will do our best to mediate and resolve issues.
Lastly, with the cogs, it is a community event that the organizers, who are volunteers, work really hard to put this on. If there are issues with the cogs and the holiday schedule, please reach out to the organizers and I directly, and we can try to resolve any issues.
Thanks! Howard
