It's a real privilege to award community stars to many community members — such a lovely way to celebrate all the ways folks contribute. Yet it breaks my heart when someone doesn't have a Ministry of Testing profile for me to do it.

I know you.

A nod to Simon's recent memory where he experienced two members meet each other for the first time even though they already knew each other. This is community.

Diana is off on maternity leave and her tasks magically get done by TeamMoT.

Basically the result of conversations I've had with Simon and Rosie this week

When you don't want to miss the event you come with your own copy so that you don't lose access in MOTAVERSE.

Today Jane x 3 joined us on stage on TWiT.
It was like the dude with the sign predicted the future.

That time Ministry of Testing missed the brief, and instead of unlimited membership, built unlimited members.

That time Jane joined This Week in Testing trice, and MEMEs needed to be made.

Focusing on what matters can be tricky. And that's sometimes how it feels at MoT. We're a small team doing big things. We love co-creating with the community to expand the MoTaverse. Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC) is a big deal and the community members who co-create it are super special. Likewise, TestBash is a big deal and the community members who co-create it are super special. We're up for the challenge and focus our efforts on both. 😃

The persistence of the wonderful Jane D'Cruze shone during a This Week in Testing. I'm so glad she stuck with overcoming the audio difficulties so she could share her well of wisdom.
