The annual X-Team X-Mas Party remains my favorite day of the year — when our community gathers, from 20+ countries, all at the same time to celebrate the year, recognize extraordinary talent, make some hilarious Meatspaces GIFs, remember the good times, and of course, a little dancing.
Below you’ll find all of the winners of this year’s Watchman Awards, voted on by the X-Team core operations team, as well as the Superhero of the Year award, which is voted on by the entire X-Community.
We’d also like to congratulate the winners of the X-Olympics, an intense series of games like QWOP and GIRP, who won $1,200 worth of donations to the open source communities of their choice.
