Team 3
- Leader: @Chris.Childerhose
- GitHub Repository: https://github.com/VeeamCommunity/veeamcommunity-2025-Team-3/
- NOTE: Team 3 attempted to initiate a project; however, their developers became unresponsive across all known communication channels. Their proposed idea was to create an onboarding QR code for the Cloud Connect Agent.
Without naming judges, these are some of the quotes shared about the projects
- Charts are very responsive and bouncy, smooth animations – Team 1
- This is a very unique whole-stack view for in particular the on-premises parts of the Veeam portfolio – VBR/VRO/VB365! – Team 1
- The idea is promising – Team 3
- I like the idea of having a single pane for all products – Team 1

Congrats @jorge.delacruz @Dynamic @lukas.k @CMF @Marcel.K @Markus.K1985 @Ian_RSA
🥳The streak of @Markus.K1985 continues, 3 years in a row!
I would like to add a high appreciation to the members of Team 3, even though they did not win and were very tied on what they could do, they made the best of it. They even got a score of 44, with the circumstances, it is a really, really good result!
I hope that everyone who participated this year will join in the upcoming years.
For now, I wish you a happy Christmas and hope to see you next year!
