Howdy, y’all!
Joe Hills here, writing as I always do from Nashville, TN!
I’m assisted today by our Community Liaison ThatTommyBoii.
It’s been a couple weeks since our last newsletter, and we just had our quarterly meeting, so we’ve got a lot to cover. Let’s jump in!
2023 Q1 quarterly meeting
I also appreciate everyone in the community who submitted feedback in advance or attended live for shaping the discussion!
Some of the decisions made during the meeting went into effect immediately, others, like re-enabling images on all of the channels will occur as I have time to get to them this week.
Video On Demand
Thanks to Tommy for filming and streaming the meeting!
Minutes
I also appreciate Tommy for taking notes! His full minutes of the meeting are available now at: https://joehills.net/2023-q1-meeting-minutes/.
HermitFan UHC
Thanks to Blug, DaUltraMarine, and the other HermitCraft community and fan server admins for running the first HermitFan UHC event!
Our team of Kindalas, Maahes0, MercurialVoid, and Salem managed to live and die together and claimed 4th place out of eight teams representing different Hermits’ communities.
It was a lot of fun, and congrats to the winners (who I won’t spoil here, go watch the VOD of me flying around and commentating)!
