🇳🇱
It appears I am going to be made a Senior Member of the IEEE (the highest level one can achieve)... Cool!
@freemo Congratulations!! Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Abuse it wisely.
@freemo IEEE (noun)
Pronounced: AYEEEEEE!
Congrats!
@freemo Wow! Massive congratulations 🤩
@realcaseyrollins Yea, I consider it an honor to have been nominated.
@JensHannemann Ahh yes, it seems there is a fellow level... hmm
@freemo Yep. And that's restricted to one tenth of one percent of each year's voting membership. Very selective and very prestigious. You'll have to be nominated by your peers.
@JensHannemann prestige isnt too important to me, but would be cool if that were the case one day.
@JensHannemann Thank you. I can say it will certainly motivate me to be more active in IEEE as well.
@JensHannemann For sure, time permitting I want to be much more active.
@freemo That is cool, congratulations!
@freemo Grats! So how much more work is this gonna give you? ;)
@trinsec Only as much as I take on myself.
@freemo That's awesome! Congrats. So we can all reach out to you about standards that we disagree with and you'll change them for us, right? 😁
@freemo Congratulations! :)
@freemo
I generally tend to make bad jokes on such occasions:
