**DevRel/Community**
Kiah shared
Hello from DevOps Days Chicago! Thanks for joining me for another community meeting.
First and foremost, join me in congratulating this years community nominated Awesome Chef Award recipients [@brittany](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/team/U1XCUA15L), [@ramereth](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/team/U2UHD7RQF) & [@tnir](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/team/U03VC9SPZHV)
These folks were nominated by members of the community as outstanding examples of the helpful, caring, engaged members that we want to see more of in the Chef community.
Historically, we’ve made it a rule not to award someone twice, but this year we got so many nominations for [@ramereth](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/team/U2UHD7RQF) that we had to bend that rule
Congratulations and thank you all so much. We’re glad you’re here!
As promised, Community Meeting notes for the past few weeks have been added to our [Discourse](https://discourse.chef.io/c/community-meetings/13).

**Sous Chefs**
ramereth shared
I don't have much to report on the Sous Chefs this week other than I'm trying to get a PR for the selinux cookbook out the door which resolves a few issues I've run into. This will also fix the test pipeline (assuming I fix the latest error)
**Cinc Updates**
ramereth shared
No new releases on the Cinc side, but I have been making progress on the cinc-omnibus cookbook which I hope to get added to Sous Chefs soon once it's ready
## **See you next week!**
