> The "issue" is that it's a bit annoying to have to look up where a company is based and then the weather patterns in that locale to understand something The only thing you have to do here is understand that seasons are switched in different hemispheres, which is taught when you're about 6 years old in most schools. And in case you forgot that, they even helpfully noted that their "winter of quality" is referring to winter in the northern hemisphere. Yes, working with people from different parts of the world to you is "a bit annoying". The Blender group - and entire worldwide open source software community - is already making massive concessions by doing everything through English. If the only thing you have to put up with that's "a bit annoying" is different holidays and seasons, you should recognize that you're actually incredibly privileged. You already speak English natively. You grew up in a western English speaking country, you share basically all the same reference framing aside from some minor calendar differences. It's honestly selfish as hell to expect people to adapt even their seasonal reference frames to suit you. They're already speaking your entire language instead of their own.
