It's First Post MONTH! All first-time posters are eligible to win!

[CarolineS]

We had such a great time with First Post Week back in April that we thought we'd do it again — this time, for a whole month!

We hereby declare: June, 2018 is First Post Month on the Meraki Community

Everyone who posts for the first time during the month of June will be entered into a drawing for Meraki socks (picture below). We’ll be giving away four pairs each week, so your chances of winning are high.

New topics, replies to topics, and comments on blogs all count as posts!  All we ask is that your content follows our community guidelines (which basically boil down to: be respectful & relevant).

Here are some easy ways to get started:

• Check out the unanswered questions to see if you can lend a hand:
  • Security
  • Endpoint Management / Systems Manager
  • All unanswered questions across the entire community!
• Introduce yourself and tell us where you’re from on our introductions thread
• Ask a question in one of our product boards
• Just say "Wow!" or "Woah!" in response to some of the Before and After pictures

Also, if you're not eligible for this contest because you have already posted: never fear. There will be plenty more opportunities to win swag here on the Meraki Community. Just keep an eye on (or even subscribe to) this blog.

Happy Posting!

Hi, everyone!

[CLambert1]

Look forward to this.  I received my CMNO certificate this week and busted out my original Meraki shirt and socks at work just to ensure everyone knew I passed the exam!   Now these socks are an upgrade over the ones I have.   Count me in!
