- Alexey Knorre is now responsible for feedback collecting. Hi also helps with course content definition.
- Dmitry Orlov and Yegor Naumov have tried themselves as Chief Editors.
- Igor Asonov proved himself as the most reliable and high-performing co-curator (negotiations with speakers, quizzes preparation).
