It’s been a while that we’ve written about new team members, but you may have seen new faces on community events and also names inside the git commits recently. Icinga is a community project after all, but some of us want to do more. Getting access to Icinga’s infrastructure, working on existing tasks and finally tagging a release being proud of your work is enjoyable & fun at once. Contact us if you feel the same!

Thank You!
Every little or big contribution counts – but if there is no time left for Icinga, and other things in life become more important, it’s truly understandable.
You know Jannis as the brain behind Icinga Mobile whilst developing Icinga Web 1.x and its modules. He also kicked off the development of Icinga Web 2 together with Tom. Thank you Jannis for remarkable 5 years making Icinga great! All the best for your future – salute to him on Twitter, if you like 🙂
