5. Other news
5.1. Say hi to our new Category Moderator! 
We would like to introduce @guy.mason as our first Category Moderator on the forum. As a relatively long-time member on our forum, and most active in the Katalon Recorder subcategory, they will assist us with:
- Moderate content (topics & posts) within the Product Forums and all of its subcategories.
- Assist us in welcoming new members into the forum.
- Helping members with any questions they may have about Katalon Recorder, and occasionally in other areas such as Katalon Studio, TestOps, etc.
- And in general, keeping our Community healthy as a place where Katalon users can come to ask questions, receive support and engage with other members.
While Guy can offer you with suggestions and workaround for your questions/issues, please do not expect him to be your go-to guy (no pun intended) for all-things-Katalon related as:
- This is a voluntary position and he simply does not have all the time in the world to respond to each and every of your questions, and
- One of the beauties of engaging on an online forum such as ours is that you can discuss, learn from one another, and consider different viewpoints and until you reach one that could potentially resolve your issues and potentially others’ as well.
5.2. Ask Katalon Anything is coming back
Following our first Ask Katalon Anything thread after Katalon’s platform transformation last September, we are bringing it back in Q3 2023 where you can ask our Product team anything related to our development roadmap, upcoming features that are in the work i.e. exciting new GPT-powered features on the horizon 
, as well as other questions related to the Software Testing industry, or other areas of Katalon i.e. Documentations, Academy, etc.
Be sure to check in our forum frequently to get the latest update of when AKA is coming! 
5.3. Share your Success Stories with the Katalon Certifications program
If you are one of our Katalon Academy learners who have gotten at least one (1) certificate from our Katalon Certifications program, then we are eager to hear how getting certified has helped you in your professional lives and boosted your career. We will share more details with you later so keep an eye out for your inboxes!
Thank you for making our Community great!
