Both of them are very active here in the community but also contribute a lot of open-source assets like the amazing go-c8y-cli by Reuben or Tristan with the Subtenant Management Tool.
Others are less active here but are very active in the open-source area like @Christof_Strack who contributed to 5+ open-source repos in Q4 2023.
Also, @Nick.Ponomar, @Bhaskar_Reddy_Byreddy and @apes made it to the leader board by speaking on the IoT Developer Event in Q4.
