[OSGeo Oceania] Shout out!

[Emma Hain]

Oh Wow!
Thank you for your kind words John and Eli! You are both our community's
guardian angels ✨!

In a time where we traditionally came together as a community either in a
spiritual way for those who celebrated Christmas in a religious way or with
the re-connectedness of family, I truly feel the community spirit and the
joy of seeing everyone join with each other, be inspired when we learn,
grow and feel collectively that we are making a difference.

With kindness, compassion and innate joy for us and this ecosystem we live
on 🌏 and live in 🌐, Merry Christmas to all and each of you! For those
living in unstable environments, I wish you and your loved ones the best
for a safe 2025.

Don't forget to track Santa <https://www.noradsanta.org/en/>🎅!

All the best🎄!
Em
