Today, we have a most exciting announcement — MV Gnome has joined the gnome crew here at Meraki!
 
 MV Gnome with MX, AP, and Switch

(For those of you who aren't familiar with Meraki gnomes, here's a quick history lesson: we've created gnomes to celebrate each of our main hardware product lines.  Why? No idea, but they're pretty cute :-). AP Gnome (in blue) was the first, joining Meraki in 2014. Switch (yellow) and MX (purple) followed, allowing us to create an (almost) full-stack Gnome topology last year. Now, MV Gnome (pink) has joined to round out the portfolio!)
 
Our newest gnome friend has seemed happy, picnicking:
 
 Gnome picnic! They seem to like the sweet treats

... and even partying:
 
 Gnomes gone wild!
Gnomes gone wild!
 
A few of you (including @Welles, no doubt?) may have noticed that MV Gnome also got to meet @jdsilva when he visited a couple weeks ago.

But — this seems to be the time of year when gnomes get a little restless. Remember all of Switch’s antics last year?
 
I’ve found MV Gnome all over the office recently:
 
 Contemplating coffee

Could all of this restlessness mean that he's going to escape to the community soon? Time will tell! 🧙🏻♂️
