(@srodlund: Are you sure you wanted to completely remove this task (and the four ones) from the Developer-Advocacy workboard, instead of just moving it to a different column which is not in the past?)

@srodlund: Hi! This task has been assigned to you a while ago. Could you maybe share an update? Do you still plan to work on this task?

If this task has been resolved in the meantime: Please update the task status (via Add Action...Change Status in the dropdown menu).
If this task is not resolved and only if you do not plan to work on this task anymore: Please consider removing yourself as assignee (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu): That would allow others to work on this (in theory), as others won't think that someone is already working on this. Thanks!
