Hello everyone on the Spiceworks Lounge ^[3] from Lawrie – Lawrie5252 ^[4]

As most of you know Yasaf Burshan (Yasaf Burshan ^[5]) is the major contributor and creator owner of the Spiceworks Lounge ^[3] and a great piece of ongoing work it is too. Thanks Yasaf

What many of you may not know is Yasaf is a bit overwhelmed with work at the moment and having some difficulty making his usual level of contribution to Spiceworks Community ^[6] and The Lounge ^[3]. I’ve put my hand up to give him a bit of a hand and try to keep you all up to date with movements in the Spiceworks community until Yasaf is back on top of it again

For those of you used to seeing Hebrew on The Lounge I have to apologise, my Hebrew is nowhere near good enough for publication so I’ll stick to English and hope that’s OK

Firstly I’d like to draw your attention to a very interesting recent interview published by Community member slatronica ^[7] (Steve Latronica), Steve publishes a blog called Synergy (http://synergy-blog.com/ ^[8]) and recently interviewed Community Manager Nic Tolstoshev ^[9]. The interview targets “the culture at the office and how it makes for a productive and positive work environment”. A really great read

This week in the Community has also seen the introduction on the 11^th of August, the latest ‘Spiceworks Community Update ^[11]’ and quite an update it is too. The features of this update include

One major change in the Community this week has been changes in the backend delivery of Spiceworks Community content, resulting in hugely improved page load times of community pages for those of us in remote locations in relation to Spiceworks HQ in Austin Texas

A huge thank you and kudos goes out to Kris (Spiceworks) ^[12] for his efforts in making this all happen. If you’d like to read more about this improvement, Kris has written a piece ‘Spiceworks Pages Loading Faster? Here's Why…. ^[13]’ which explains the basis of the improvement.

The SpiceRex ^[14] “Contest to create An Advert! ^[15]” has been running for three weeks now and with only 2 days left its hotting up with some great designs coming though

If you enter into the competition and win you could get
