There have been rumours that Courtney and Amanda might have left over the SL8B logo issue, although in the case of Courtney this seems unlikely as the word on the street is that Courtney left on June 10th after handing in her two week&#8217;s notice.<\/p>\n<p>People move on, it&#8217;s a fact of life and like Blondin and Amanda, one would hope that Courtney has moved on to better things. Courtney I didn&#8217;t know as well as Blondin or Amanda (whom I didn&#8217;t really know either), I don&#8217;t recall Courtney holding any office hours. However what I do recall about Courtney is that she was enthusiastic, positive in the face of negativity and seemed to enjoy herself.<\/p>\n<p>I can recall at the <a title=\"Hug a Linden Blog Post\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/Inworld\/Join-the-Valentine-s-Day-Smooch-fest-Event\/ba-p\/676008\" target=\"_blank\">Valentine&#8217;s event<\/a> that I gave up trying to get a kiss with Courtney, who was sporting a pair of wings, because there was a bloody great queue to get on the pose ball with her.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Courtney was a customer relations\/community Linden and the value of people in these roles should not be underestimated. Courtney blogged about <a title=\"Support news from Courtney\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/ON-CALL-Support-News-and\/Take-a-deep-breath\/ba-p\/642761\" target=\"_blank\">support news <\/a>on the older blog system, not the really old blog system, the one after that! That particular post mentioned the now departed Jack Linden and <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Harpo Marx<\/span> &#8230; Cyn Linden. Indeed Courtney holds the honour of actually getting Cyn to talk in public during a series of blog posts where she interviewed some of the Linden staff to let us learn a bit more about them, <a title=\"Courtney Interviews Cyn\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/ON-CALL-Support-News-and\/Support-Talks-An-Interview-with-Cyn-Linden\/ba-p\/645669\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with Cyn Linden <\/a>was a nice addition to that series. There was\u00a0also a nice <a title=\"Meet Jeska Linden\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/ON-CALL-Support-News-and\/Meet-Jeska-Linden\/ba-p\/656977\" target=\"_blank\">interview with Jeska <\/a>in this series.<\/p>\n<p>More recently Courtney was introducing us to the winner of the <a title=\"The Winner Of The Linden Dream Home Sweepstakes\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/Inworld\/And-the-Winner-of-the-Linden-Dream-Home-Sweepstakes-is\/ba-p\/901461\" target=\"_blank\">Linden Dream\u00a0Homes Sweepstakes<\/a> as well as blogging about the <a title=\"The Linden Endownment For The Arts\" href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/Inworld\/Get-Into-the-Art-with-the-Linden-Endowment-for-the-Arts\/ba-p\/892447\" target=\"_blank\">Linden Endownment For Arts<\/a>. I hope Linden Lab aren&#8217;t going through a period where they feel people like Blondin and Courtney are not important, they are very important because underneath the technical architecture there are people who don&#8217;t care how it all works, they just want to get on with their fun and people such as Blondin and Courtney are Linden links to that fun, they play a very valuable role.<\/p>\n<p>I hope Courtney is doing well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In between Blondin and Amanda leaving Linden Lab, another community based Linden left, Courtney.
