For the Crystal Team, it meant the last event and posting by —now former— Crystal Community Manager, [Mekhla Mukherjee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mekhla-mukherjee/). Mekhla has done a terrific job building the Ambassadors Program, helping organize the conference, and taking care of the general communications of the project. Unfortunately, the funding for a full-time Community Manager has run out. +We'll continue the community and communication efforts that we initiated in the past months. Beta Ziliani takes over as coordinator of the Ambassadors Program. + +Thank you Mekhla, once again for your work in the Crystal community. We'll miss you. + +On a positive note, Stephanie Wilde-Hobbs ([RX14](https://github.com/RX14)) is (re-)joining the Core Team. She has a great understanding of the language and is a valuable voice for future developments, as shown in her participation in the panel discussion at CrystalConf. +A couple years ago she had already been an active member. So, welcome back Stephie!
