I am Sr. Community Manager for Thunderbird, and I invite you to get involved in the great Thunderbird community. As Community Manager I facilitate, promote and provide productive discussion forums, activities, and resources that enable the community to work together toward a more awesome Thunderbird. Catch me at @wsmwk:matrix.org, SUMO or wayne [at] thunderbird.net and vseerror [at] fastmail.com.

For two decades I've supported users and worked in various areas of Thunderbird: bug triage and QA, crashes, dataloss, stability, search and performance to name a few. Frequently seen helping users in Thunderbird Support (SUMO), Connect, and reddit. Accessibility advocate.

And we have a chat room where we don't talk about Thunderbird, at Thunderbird & Chill
