Community Members, 

As we countdown to 2022, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the amazing achievements and unforgettable moments that happened on our community in 2021.

Okay - so it's clear that we got a lot of done in terms of connecting, sharing, and learning this past year. But perhaps just as importantly, we had a ton of fun doing it! Here's a look back on some of the contest and campaigns that went down in 2021:

Customer Love Month: Of course February is all about showing our customers how much we 💙 them

We can't talk about 2021 without mentioning Groups, which had a record breaking year in terms of traffic and engagement. The Welcome Center kept its crown from last year as most active, followed by two new groups: Teamwork Lab and Speaker Bench

What an awesome year @Bridget + The Atlassian Community Team 🤩  🥳

I can't tell you how much fun I've had sharing solutions, writing articles and cooking up Confluence inspired Christmas songs... I'm still humming away to "Merry Confluence Everyone" 

Thank you for making it such a great year as both a member and a Community Leader, very excited to see what 2022 has in store ✨

@Nikki Zavadska _Appfire_  - that cake.   My last job, before moving to Adaptavist, was with a small media company that ran on cake (and daleks). 

If you wanted something doing, you would go ask the team who would do it, and the response was always "yes, but write me a Jira issue, so it can be tracked and we can write notes, and flip it to a Confluence page if it's an interesting one, and and and"

If you wanted something doing quickly though, you had to have cake to offer

But there's a problem - when someone makes such a good-looking cake, you don't want to ruin it by eating it.  But I want to eat it.  Argh!

What is the word for retroactive FOMO? ROMO (regret on missing out)? Well, reading through this I have serious ROMO for 2021. After becoming more active in Q4, I see now what 2022 can and will look like and I am PUMPED!

Thank you to all of the amazing community leaders, content contributors, writers and collaborators that I have had the privilege of interacting with in the community this year!

What a fantastic year filled with so many accomplishments in an otherwise yucky 12 months across the world. But the Atlassian Community was LIT and full of encouragement and adding hope as questions were answered, articles read, and LOTS of fun was shared all around. 

Thanks to everyone for playing your part and here's to an even better 2022!
