'Twas the Last SoFri Before Christmas

Ryan Moore finished the meeting with a dramatic reading for Christmas and the last meeting of the year. Inspired by the fun Christmas Carols and cheer that was penned back in the ole asp.net forums back in 2004 (! which you should go read, they're excellent!  https://forums.asp.net/t/772532.aspx?Your+favorite+DNN+Christmas+Carols  ), Ryan quickly prepared a version of the fabled old tale for DNN winter 2020:

'Twas the last SoFri before Christmas, a rest for all of us
Not a developer was coding, not even prolific Daniel Valadas;
Pull requests, installs and triage were organized in GitHub with care,
In hopes that new updates soon would be there;

DNN Core team was still working on the DNN store, 
and David Poindexter was working on skinning some more; 

The developers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of new file managers danced in their heads;
With Mitchell in charge and flying in the blue,
Had just settled down for a long code review,

Written by moon light, all of that new-rendered code
Gets us all excited and into New-Release mode,
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But a promise of DNN 10 in the new year!

The SouthernFried DNN user group is here to give en-courage-ment,
And we all hope that 2021 is better by quite a good bit.
Thinking of the future we exclaim, "Make DNN 10 Out of Sight!",
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"
