@Dave Wuensch I will take a look at your welcome badge but in the meantime, I'm going to add you to our Kudos program which has a lot more badges available! 🎉 (Anyone else who is interested can sign up right here.) 

@Alexis Evans hi Alexis! Moving this to the Agile group where I think people are more likely to see it. It's a great question!

Congratulations to the Atlassian Community. We reached our goal with a final tally of 30,037 likes! Thanks to the Atlassian Foundation, we will plant 60,074 trees along with Eden Reforestation Projects. We will allocate funds to our top two poll winners, Kenya 🇰🇪 and Brazil 🇧🇷, as well as to the General Fund of the Eden…

You are a peach, @Summer Hogan! The numbers don't update in real-time so I get them in batches. It's all very exciting. AS I WAS TYPING THIS, ANOTHER BATCH CAME THROUGH. Okay time for some math....

@Ken Paetzold hahahaa omg that sounds like such a letdown. Did you chat to the portrait? 😂

Y'all are killing me 😆 I guess time for me to relax and have a nice cup of tea before I pull those.... final..... numbers....... maybe 49 people can just like this comment and put us out of our misery 😂

Just over here slowly eating lunch....

Extra bonus for participants, you could be matched with @Christine P. Dela Rosa herself! 😉

@Carlos Garcia Navarro great questions! The other one you participated in was Community Leaders only. This is a new pool of matches, so you do need to opt in again if you'd like to do this one too - which you are very much encouraged to! You should have gotten a feedback form to fill out from the last round. I think via…

@Ken Paetzold that is on my bucket list!! I actually have a whole trip planned around seeing all the Jane Austen sites, including where she grew up and her gravesite. It's been postponed due to Covid so not sure when I will actually get to go, but soon I hope!

I know Netflix just did a Persuasion adaptation but I want a better Persuasion adaptation. And what the heck, let's do Pride and Prejudice again. You can never have too many Austen adaptations! 

I finished my coffee and was about to pull the final numbers except it turns out it's almost lunchtime here! So I'm going to go have some lunch. I'll definitely get to those final numbers soon. Maybe after lunch....

I was going to pull the final numbers but I think I'm going to have some coffee first. ☕️ I'm sure I'll get to it soon. 

Wow and after Brazil dominating the voting the whole time, Kenya has just taken the lead by 10 votes!

Happy birthday, FMA! I was at a birthday party for my one-year-old nephew this weekend and indeed as we do in my Dutch family, I did walk around and congratulate people. We don't congratulate random people though, just the actual relatives of the birthday boy. "Gefiliciteerd met je kleinzoon!" My favorite cake is a…

@Saralie S. I need to try this (both the drink and the cake!) 

@John Funk omg that cake was so good!

"Tell us how much cake you will provide" lol I love it. 

We're at 480 likes to go! I'm going to go talk about birthday cakes and then I'll check back again 😉

@Mirek I would have been updating all weekend except my nephew had the nerve to turn one right at the end of July so I was traveling! We are at 1,129 Likes to go. But I won't pull the final numbers until tomorrow (and I am on Pacific time) so I am positive we can make it to 30,000 before the end!

We are in the final stretch and we need a mere 2,864 likes to meet our goal! We have already planted 27,136 trees, which thanks to the Atlassian Foundation is 54,272 trees. YESTERDAY, YOU PLANTED 2,590 TREES. In one day!!! Our highest weekend day so far has been 246 trees in a day. So Stop by this weekend if you can and…

@Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ I have done lessons with an artist who lives in Valencia. I can see why an artist would choose to live there; it's lovely!

@Brant Schroeder I haven't been to Idaho yet, but one of my friends retired there because she and her husband love skiing! I wonder if they are near Sandpoint.

@Srinatha Tondihal Wow, amazing!

@summer.hogan I love that most of the museums are free, too. the National Portrait Gallery and the Holocaust Museum are two of my favorites!

Last week's Friday fun is here if you haven't participated yet, and we have another one coming soon for your posts and likes courtesy of our own @Jimmy Seddon so stay tuned! 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Another great day with 1,604 Likes yesterday, bringing us up to 24,701 trees planted with 5,299 clicks to go in these final four days to meet our goal! 

@Craig Nodwell wow, these are amazing!

@Jax Blunt you should be in! Welcome!
