Thanks for the ping! Regarding the Guide Program, we have introduced 11 new contributors to our roster of 5 Guides! They are expected to complete the program within the month of September. We're excited to kick off this initial cohort of new contributors and look forward to their first contributions to the team.

Perhaps you can also welcome the new contributors participating in the Guide Program, and encourage them to say hello in a thread? And maybe Guides could also be encouraged to say hello so we can give them recognition.
