Organization Name

Happy Friday!

My coworker Brett leaves us today, and I'm trying not to hold it against him. Brett is not a terrible person, and I hope his future is good, but I will miss bothering him about bugs all day long.

Useful users

Greg, thanks for posting and resolving your note about including captchas on forms. I hope this helps to guard against some of the spam submissions you've been seeing!

John offered some tips on reading the spam report through the email workflow, since we've been getting a few questions about it.

Taking Action

There were a good number of emails and actions about health care last week, and Jason highlighted an action from Health Care for America Now on the blog.

So many ways to make "blast" punny...

Yesterday's Weekly Highlight pointed out the new snazziness of autoresponses within the events workflow, and I have to point out that Charlie also added a note about the "automatically generate text" option in email blasts, which I am so thrilled about, because that was my least favorite part of drafting blasts!

If you're still using the old email blast tool for some reason, you should totally upgrade to the new email blast package - It might look more complicated at first, because there are a few more steps than before, but overall, it's a lot more fun and useful.

Have a happy weekend! I'm going to go watch my brother and his rugby team perform in a musical variety show. I think they're singing "Men in Tights." Hm.

Salsa Staff Trivia

Anupama, without her sequined crown.

Have you ever been in a play or performance?

Anupama, Salsa Support Specialist: When I was eight, I played Mother Earth in a Telugu play about the origin of Deepavali, and I got a standing ovation more for my fluency in Telugu than anything else. My friend Chitra was four at the time, and she played my grandson. We had crowns made of gold foil and sequins.

Jon, Director of Node Support: I had the leading role in "Witness for the Prosecution" my senior year in high school. I also played a dead body in a production at the British Embassy here in DC back in 1998 or so, only I wasn't really dead. It was Weekend-at-Bernie's-esque. I spent the first half of the play being dragged around the stage, stuffed into closets, etc.

The Friday Fiesta is a more informal update on what's going on in the Salsa Community.
I usually like to add a few notes on my favorite topics as well as what's up in our office,
all delivered with a charming dose of rambling sarcasm,
because I don't actually know how to communicate in any other way.
