Big +1 for Avni from my side too! Avni has been contributing to LWKD from June this year. She started with writing subproject updates but soon picked up writing general merge reporting, which is one of the more longer parts of LWKD. Big kudos to all her efforts! I look forward to seeing more of her contributions in SIG Contribex (and other parts of the project too) :)
