What’s up with SUMO – Q1 2021

Hey SUMO folks,

Starting from this month, we’d like to reenact our old tradition to have the summary of what’s happening in our SUMO nation. But instead of weekly like the old days, we’re going to have a monthly updates. This post will be an exception though, as we’d like to recap the entire Q1 of 2021.

So, let’s get to it!

Welcome on board!

  1. Welcome to bingchuanjuzi (rebug). Thank you for your contribution to 62 zh-CN articles despite just getting started in Oct 2020.
  2. Hello and welcome Vinay to the Gujarati localization group. Thanks for picking up the work in a locale that has been inactive for awhile.
  3. Welcome back to JCPlus. Thank you for stewarding the Norsk (No) locale.
  4. Welcome brisu and Manu! Thank you for helping us with Firefox for iOS questions.
  5. Welcome to Kaio Duarte to the Social Support program!
  6. Devin and Matt C for their comeback to Social Support program (Devin has helped us with Buffer Reply and Matt was part of Army of Awesome program in the past).

Last but not least, let’s join us to welcome to Fabi and Daryl to the SUMO team. Fabi is the new Technical Writer (although, I should note that she will be helping us with Spanish localization as well) and Daryl is joining us as a Senior User Experience Designer. Welcome both!
