    For the past three and a half years I've had the unbelievable pleasure of being Unity's Community Manager. I've never known such a large group of people so passionate and friendly, this community is extremely unique, you've made me laugh, occasionally flip tables & discover new ways to buy washing machines (well, kind of, until they got banned & blocked).

    So it's about time I get to the point with this post isn't it, as of April I will be moving to the R&D Content Team and working as their Producer. For those of you who may not know, this team is responsible for demo's, a tonne of projects on the Asset Store, the learn content on our site, training days at Unite & working with the rest of R&D on giving feedback on new features in Unity.

    I won't entirely disappear, since I will be getting feedback and responding about all the stuff the team produces. You may be unaware but we have a team behind all of this, please @SaraCecilia for all your communications/community site needs. We also have our Social Media Manager Kristyna (you may not know her by name but you will know her by tweets & blog posts).

    Quick shout out to @holliebuckets who started 6 months ago to help us cover the US, being so awesome she has become a Software Test Engineer.

    If you'd like to join Sara & Kristyna on the Community & Social team at Unity we have a permanent opening for a Social & Community Manager in San Francisco http://grnh.se/5xaeqw
    If you're in the EU, we have a 6 Month Contract for a Community Manager in either Brighton or Copenhagen http://grnh.se/w6akpu

    <3 Keep being awesome <3

    Farewell. It's been great having you around. I'd apply, but my wife would probably shoot me if I suggested moving so soon after the last one.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for everything, Aurore! I am looking forward to seeing the awesome demos and training that will be influenced by your input. I am sure they will be amazing. Enjoy your new job! It looks really wonderful and challenging...maybe not as much as keeping us in line, but certainly exciting!

    Can't believe there's still folk who haven't been watching Game of Thrones. It's only the best fantasy ever made, that's all.

    I think it's game of thrones, but can't be sure as I don't watch it.

    Too much (naked) boobs and incest for my taste. Nothing against some boobs, but too much is too much. Also can't afford HBO.

    Just think though. If you applied and moved you would no longer be ten hours away from a certification testing site. :p

    We all knew the presence of dragons was the only thing preventing the great hippo uprising. May the statistics have mercy on our probabilities.

    Don't worry, I'll keep Hippo under control.

    ...is what I'd say in Bizarro Universe.

    I'm not as worried about who's going to control the hippo as I am about who's going to control the dragons. I hope she'll be taking them with her. They can be scary without a master. :)

    Bye Aurore, thanks for putting up with some of our bad attitudes for the past 3 1/2 years. :eek:

    You were always so polite. Have fun at your new position. :)

    Congratulations! Your desk is now slightly further away from mine and you are now less likely to hear me singing Lionel Ritchie and Soundgarden.

    Rise my children of the night. Rise from your tepid pools. Rise from your rivers in a tsunami of leathery flesh. Come, brethren, we shall take the world that is rightfully ours.

    And you are now less likely to hear me sing Frozen's, Let it Go, until the new office, until the new office, I hear we'll be in close proximity.


    What you all don't know is....Hippo was the dragon all along!

    A dragon-hippo?

    ...

    Scratch that. Some terms should never be entered into google image search.
