This Month in Solid #15: Three months of updates, a new core Member, and fellowships 😎

Hello friends 👋
Yes, things have been hectic over the past three months. So I had to press pause for a bit to focus on work and life. However, we are now back with a compilation of everything that happened in June, July, and August. I must admit, it felt great to discover so much new content and fantastic news about fellowships and a new core team member.
So let's start our fifteenth This Month in Solid 😎!

Solid Updates

Atila joins the Core team to lead SolidStart

From founding the DX team and speaking about Solid all around the world, it was time for Atila to join the Core team and lead the efforts around SolidStart.

I am super proud of Atila and I can’t wait to see the amazing work

New Fellowships

Thanks to the amazing people at Anomaly, we're excited to announce three new Solid Fellowships focused exclusively on supercharging SolidStart development!

This is super well deserved. The work Brendan, Brenley, and Katja have been doing is extremely essential and has been improving the ecosystem every day. I'm so happy to see their hard work rewarded.
