Hi Avail community ! 👋 I am currently part of the 270 operator on the Goldberg testnet of Avail. I also participated in the very beginning of the Kate testnet. **Let me introduce myself also:** 🧑‍💻 I’m an individual node runner from Paris, France. 🇫🇷 I’m mainnet validator on Q Blockchain, (governance focused network). I’m also genesis validator on Namada Network (privacy network), & Chainflip (atomic swaps). I’m participating in several testnets since several years. I am interested and I believe a lot in crypto ecosystem especially on DA solution like Avail, if I can help the project it’s with great pleasure! I think that a community education program around Avail would be welcome to popularize the technology and the tech behind it. I would be willing to participate and develop content in French if that were the case @robin-rrt ---
