Because of a recent death in our family, @Mark_Kriegsman and myself are going to be stepping back from FastLED for a little bit. One of the things we love about this community is how helpful all of you are with each other, and we’re extra thankful for that right now. There’s more in Mark’s post here: https://plus.google.com/112916219338292742137/posts/5h1K2DSGd9w?sfc=true
In light of the above, @Jason_Coon offered to help out with moderation here, so I’ve bumped him up to moderator to help out with when g+ decides to auto-moderate posts.
Also - I believe I have discovered what it is that’s causing g+ to auto-moderate posts - it appears to do so when folks use pastebin for posting code. In that case, please use http://gist.github.com, not pastebin for posting code - I’ve updated the faq at http://fastled.io/faq to reflect this.
I’m going to pin this post, and will update it as we figure out more things (we haven’t decided yet whether or not to add another admin to the FastLED github yet, for example).
Thank you again, everyone, for your support, for being a fantastic community, and for all the light.
Mark and Daniel - Thank YOU.
I’ve only recently discovered FastLED and your work, and it’s amazing - I’m using it to build something very special.
Take care and my thoughts are with you at this time.
Mark and Daniel - thanks for the wonderful code library - I’ve only been using it for a week, and joined the Google+ community a few days ago, but I’m already impressed by how much I can do on my own, thanks to all the work that’s gone into it and shared! My thoughts are with you and your family and friends.
Can you please tweak this post slightly? It always makes me jump/sad when I open up to see what new posts there are and the first thing I see in the summary of the pinned post talks of death
