Love to hear the idea resonates with you, Pratiksha! Glad to hear that the proposal looks good and is welcoming to newcomers Jarek and Wei!.
Developing a community driven "culture" to recognize new folks, will encourage more to continue making contributions. With your continued support, it will be a "breeze". Yes, I will do my best to keep nudging from the backend:) Since holidays for Christmas/New Year are ongoing, kind request to chime in, everyone, by the end of first week of January. After that, I want to start a LAZY CONSENSUS. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts all! Warm Regards, Srabasti Banerjee FYI - For those who joined Apache Airflow community recently, anyone can contribute to discussions in dev list, no restrictions, in addition to PRs. Would love to hear from you. All are welcome to attend DEV calls held biweekly on Thursdays. On Sat, Dec 27, 2025 at 4:30 AM Wei Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks great!
