When I build community, write and teach about community.

I say that community is glue work.

I also say that community comes from doing the work.

One action.

One day.

One conversation.

One event.

One community activity at a time.

This Friday we are celebrating our 99th Episode of This Week in Testing.

The work has been MoT, hosts and members showing up week after week, to connect, build relationships and learn together. And it's been a pleasure!

We've experimented over more than two years, from a simple audio space to LinkedIn Audio events and now to a weekly event on Crowdcast, which is then recorded and turned into a podcast on the same day. This is the community work. Showing up with care, improving and iterating at every possible opportunity.

I'd like to thank Simon Tomes for consistently being there to make it happen and also to everyone who joins as a host, stage and in the chat. You make our community beautiful.

99 is special number for us in the MoTaverse and we'd love for you to join us for our 99th edition this coming Friday. We will then be taking a short break before coming back refreshed and ready for more.

99 Episodes and I've still not been to one. Sadly I'm out that day, so still won't have been to one.
