[Monique vdB]

@Nicole Reichert HAPPY DECEMBER! It's your turn this week and since it's Friday in Sydney, you can start your thread anytime. Here is your link to start your topic and here are the latest topics for reference. And here is a wallaby, perking up her ears to find out what fun awaits her:

[Monique vdB]

@Nicole Reichert I also see that you're based in Sydney so you probably 1) know what time it is, and 2) are not that excited to see a wallaby.

When I went birdwatching in Sydney, my guide said his dream was to someday see a hummingbird in real life. So here is one of those instead!

[Nicole Reichert]

AND HERE is my lovely little thread: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Off-topic-discussions/Pandemic-Hobbies-what-s-stayed-and-what-s-out/m-p/1877640#M13486

What's stayed and what's gone in your pandemic hobbies?!

[Andrew Kendris]

This is quite the list - thank you for keeping it up @Jimmy Seddon. I'll take January 28, 2022 🙂 Looks like I've got some time to ponder a good topic!

[Jimmy Seddon]

@Andrew Kendris the 28th was already claimed.  I've given you Jan 14th.  I hope you won't feel rushed ;)

[Andrew Kendris]

Oof - that's gonna be tough and I might need to move a few things around 😉 Ha! Just playing - Jan 14 works perfectly!

Thanks again!

[Andrew Kendris]

@Jimmy Seddon looking forward to my slot this Friday! Can’t believe it’s already my turn 😃 

[Jimmy Seddon]

[Andy Gladstone]

[Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_]

Well there's no taking it back now: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Off-topic-discussions/Friday-Fun-Our-Friday-Evening-Traditions/td-p/1903532

[Dave Liao]

@Jimmy Seddon - Oh hai! Sign me up for the next available spot, if any?

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hey @Dave Liao!

We are putting a hold on scheduled signups (for now) we want to let the backlog drop a little bit more before we start taking on any additional signups.  However, if we need a replacement for any given week, I'll let you know.

Thanks!

[Dave Liao]

Makes sense. I guess that means I'll be putting a hold on getting that Friday Finesse badge... 😂

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

Hi @Jimmy Seddon ,

how did you understand you need to have replacement? 

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hey @Gonchik Tsymzhitov, credit really goes to @Monique vdB who looks at the last login time of the person signed up, and basically if they haven't posted something within a given window we need to find someone else to make the post before Friday is over.

Of the times that has happened recently the last login time has been about a year ago.  That is also the motivation for waiting to get through the backlog of sign ups before adding any new ones.  You can't be sure what you will be doing a year from when you signed up.

I hope that helps explain it.

-Jimmy

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

Hi @Jimmy Seddon , 

Thanks for that info :) 

[Cheri Hansen]

Trying to join this group.  Saw Friday and Fun (2 of my favorite F-words) and want to be part of this!

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hi @Cheri Hansen!

Not to worry the Off-Topic collection (where Friday Fun posts are created) is a group that every member is auto-subscribed to upon joining the community!

If you want to start participating check out the post tagged with friday-fun:

[Monique vdB]

@Jimmy Seddon actually people aren't auto-subscribed but maybe they should be! 

@Cheri Hansen you can set a search alert for "Friday Fun," just click "Create alert" in the right hand sidebar on this search page.

[Cheri Hansen]

[Sagar]

Any next available spot, looks difficult but still if any?

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hi @Sagar!

I mentioned above, we are putting a hold on scheduled signups (for now) we want to let the backlog drop a little bit more before we start taking on any additional signups.  However, if we need a replacement for any given week, I'll let you know.

-Jimmy

[Sagar]

@Jimmy Seddon  That's totally understandable. I will wait for my turn!!

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hey @Sagar!

Hi @Jimmy Seddon ,

Good Morning.

Is it still available ? If yes, what's the next slot?

Cheers

Suvradip

[Jimmy Seddon]

Hi @Suvradip Paul!

We aren't doing anymore sign ups until we get closer to February.  However, we sometimes need last minute fill-ins for people who are unable to post a thread on their turn.  I will add you to the list of people in that queue.

Thanks!

-Jimmy

[Suvradip Paul]

Ok Thanks @Jimmy Seddon . Would there be fresh sign ups and slots allocated after February 2021 and updates would be posted as part of this thread?

Cheers

Suvradip

[Jimmy Seddon]

Yes @Suvradip Paul there will be a new sign up sheet that will be posted closer to the start of February, with a link to it from this thread.

Thanks!

[Suvradip Paul]

Thanks Again for your prompt response  @Jimmy Seddon !
