    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Our Community Fellows are Bricksters who consistently provide quick, accurate customer help and high quality content. This internal program recognizes those who go above their daily work to share knowledge, improve our forums, and support the Databricks community.

&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;FGC Challenge (Fellows Generated Content)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;In December, the community saw strong FGC contributions:&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/192145"&gt;@AbhaySingh&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;published 3 Community Articles, &lt;a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/34815"&gt;@Louis_Frolio&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;contributed an article and also shared six posts across LinkedIn, and the month wrapped up with a Walkthrough post from&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1822"&gt;@Emma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;. We are so lucky to have the expertly written content from our valued Databricks SMEs!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Hall of Fame Induction!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We welcomed &lt;STRONG&gt;one new Brickster to the Hall of Fame in December: &lt;a href="https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1822"&gt;@Emma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, with a contribution of&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;41 points&lt;/STRONG&gt; in our forums right after joining (answering many of them over the holidays) is now a level 1 fellow. She started STRONG, landing in second position by only one point in December! We have a &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":glowing_star:"&gt;🌟&lt;/span&gt; bright new star &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":glowing_star:"&gt;🌟&lt;/span&gt; in the Fellows and I’m excited to see this rapid race up the charts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Love seeing this momentum &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":rocket:"&gt;🚀&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;The Community Fellows program is a perfect example of Bricksters showing up &lt;I&gt;beyond&lt;/I&gt; their day jobs—sharing real expertise, helping customers fast, and lifting the whole community along the way. Huge congrats to everyone on the leaderboard and welcome to our new Hall of Famer &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":clapping_hands:"&gt;👏&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Here’s to even more learning, sharing, and impact in 2026 &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":clinking_glasses:"&gt;🥂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
