Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay it was busy behind the scenes. It's time to vote on the things that were shown off at this Summer's berry good C3, I hope you have seen everything!
C3 voting closes Wednesday, September 4 (at midnight UTC)
Take a look at the table below for all the categories, and what they mean, as well as the threads and users eligible for those specific categories. If you can't see a thread you want to vote for, it's either: a) not eligible because of the criteria, or b) the thread author doesn't know how to tag. In both cases, reach out and we can clear it up.
