Members of the Month - 2017

Members of the Month - January.

@Nobbz & @Sashaafm

Both Norbert and Sasha have been here since day one - and they got stuck in straight away as well! For some time, Norbert was actually our go to Elixir and Erlang thread-answerer :lol: and he’s done a stellar job since despite having to cope with a new addition to the family as well as studying and now working full time!

Similarly, Sasha spent a lot of time finding resources, blog posts, videos and pod casts to post in the associated threads on the forum. This is actually incredibly time-consuming, I know because I was doing this myself before Sasha offered to help out.

It will come as no surprise to you that both are also Mods and both have spent a lot of time behind the scenes on all manner of things :smiley:

Thank you Norbert and Sasha - worthy Members of the Month January 2017 :023:

Members of the Month - February

@benwilson512 & @sasajuric

Many of you will already know Ben and Saša - because they may well have helped you or participated in your discussions on the forum :003:

Both Ben and Saša arrived on the forum around the time José posted a note on ELT asking members to check out this forum. I think it’s fair to say they took to the forum like ducks to water as they spent a huge amount of time getting involved with discussions and perhaps more importantly, helping all of you with your questions and queries.

Ben is also on the Mod team so also does a lot of mod stuff that many of you don’t see :slight_smile: Saša was actually offered a mod position too, but his schedule was too hectic (he’s the author of Elixir In Action in case you didn’t know :lol:)

Thank you Ben and Saša - worthy Members of the Month :023:

@hubertlepicki & @mkunikow

This month we have two members who have been here from day one :003:

Both Hubert and Michal joined when the forum first started and have been consistently active since. They bring quite different things to the table - Hubert offers a lot of help and advice in topics regarding all things Elixir, and Michal helps push the conversation forward in a more broader sense, drawing on his experience in other languages.

Being a MOTM isn’t just about answering Elixir related questions - it’s about adding something of value and supporting the community as a whole. Sometimes (often!?) that means helping with topics that are not directly about Elixir, but which an Elixir programmer may well encounter in their day to day life, whether that’s to do with production infrastructure, front end technologies, or even off-topic stuff that helps forge relationships or lets us kick off our shoes every now and again.

Thank you Hubert and Michal :023:

It’s that time of the month again… and in case you didn’t see the announcement, starting this month we have four Members of the Month :003: and so to make life easier for myself I will keep things short and sweet :lol:

Our Members of the Month for April are:

@Qqwy
@OvermindDL1
@michalmuskala
@bitwalker

As most of you will know, all of the above have been spending quite a bit of time helping you on the forum; @michalmuskala and @bitwalker in their respective areas of expertise, Ecto and Deployment, and more generally @Qqwy and @OvermindDL1 who are also both moderators :003:

They are prime examples of what makes a good community member; those taking time out to help or engage with other members in a positive and meaningful way.

Thank you all - very well deserved :023:

Members of the Month - May

@andre1sk
@ericmj
@aseigo
@mjadczak

Again this month we have four notable members of the month :003:

Starting with Andrei, a prolific poster meaning there’s a good chance he’s participated in and added something of value to one of your threads. Next, we have Eric who is not only an Elixir Core Team member but also the person behind Hex - yet he still manages to spend time on the forum to help you out. Aaron will also be familiar to many of you since he’s been active on the forum and helping many of you with your questions. Not only that, he’s also been spreading the word about the forum… helping bring new people to the community and the language. Matt on the other hand, may not be quite as well known. But sometimes, a single post can have a profound effect on the rest of us - like his feedback on Pragprog’s recent book, which, has been taken on board, helping shape the book into one that will be better for us all in the long run.

Thank you this month’s MOTM :023:

@peerreynders
@Eiji
@gregvaughn
@griffinbyatt

Four more worthy Members of the Month :003:

Many of you will have encountered @peerreynders and @Eiji on the forum as they are both regular posters, @peerreynders also keeps our Coupons & Discounts thread updated whenever there’s a sale or bargain going on - something many of us appreciate :slight_smile:

@gregvaughn has been with us since the early days and in that time has spent a fair bit of time in threads - he’s also a mod so helps out as and when he can behind the scenes :slight_smile:

A bit newer to the forum, @griffinbyatt has been discovering vulnerabilities with Elixir and Phoenix and is also author of Sobelow, which is a security-focused static analysis tool for Phoenix - as you can see from the thread and the initial discussion, it’s quickly become a popular tool with forum members.

Well done all of this months MOTM :023:
