The first month is now behind us, and it's time to honor those who made significant contributions to the Komodo project!  While many community members made big contributions, the Komodo team is unable to feature everyone who is contributing to the project. The community moderator bounties are awarded based on the team's understanding and judgement of the most significant contributions. If you think we have overlooked someone, you can give us a hint anytime, now or in the future. The Komodo team was so pleased with the community's activity during the past month that the decision was made to appropriately reward the bounty winners this month by adding 3,000 KMD to the baseline budget of 777 KMD. This brings the total community bounty budget to 3777 KMD for the month of October 2019. Komodo has a very active community, and we want to keep supporting the open-source effort. Thus, the monthly budget for each month moving forward has been permanently increased from 777 KMD per month to 3000 KMD per month. The changes will take effect in November."    Komodo Marketing Manager Audo Kowitz Read the full blog post to see who won the community bounties for the month of October.
