You were amazing man, we are proud of you 
Community Board Observer Update Q3 2024: After Meeting Report
RohitPakalapati I didn’t know a lot of your posts but from the little I saw you cared a lot about the community and that’s impressive. Thank you very much for these updates, we can see that the company is going in the right direction.
Man you did a great job as a CBO, thanks for your work man!!
It has been a pleasure to see your confidence grow, not only across these Quarterly Updates, but at in-person events too. That year really has flown by, since meeting you for the first time at the Arcade Event last November, to the most recent, celebrating the Community Edition phone.
Thank you, for all you have done for this Community. The Community Insight Series have been wonderful and have sparked so many discussions, hoping the next CBO looks to continue these and improve upon the amazing groundwork you have managed to lay.
As an aside, many congratulations too for your recent Graduation Ceremony. All the best with whatever comes next for you and looking forward to seeing you at events and in the chat!
Maxishappy Aah Max, your comment made me happy. Thank you for being so honest, it means a lot. I honestly feel we need a new CBO every year, just my personal opinion. Since this role isn’t a job, it requires deep passion for contributing to this amazing vision on a voluntary basis. Yes, it has privileges, but that doesn’t mean we can get comfortable with this post because the face I carry at Nothing is the face of the community. The perspectives, however, are totally mine, and that’s where the interesting part is. I see a lot of potential in this role, and I want new perspectives to accelerate growth. Nothing isn’t a corporate-like brand; it’s a brand that is trying to erase the lines between community and team, with everyone marching towards one beautiful vision to reset the road of technology. The challenging part, however, is about personal capabilities. I struggled a lot in a few areas and really want the next CBO to ace them too. So this time, we’ll have a slightly different process for the application. I will also be giving as much time as possible for the onboarding to make sure our next CBO is confident on day one of hitting the ground.
Thank you for putting the community at the front of center of everything you have done over the last year, Rohit. From ensuring our voices have been heard to, thinking about and inspiring new ways of community engagement, you’ve led from the front. And congrats on the graduation too!!
Good luck in your career moves and I can’t wait to see what you continue to bring to the community.
Big shoes to fill.

Ealesy101 Thank you, Ryan! It means a lot. Yes, see you at future events 
hrry Thank you, Harry! You’ve been one of the most active members recently, and it’s been fantastic to see you helping so many in our community. It was great meeting you in person, and I’m looking forward to seeing you at upcoming events!
Thanks for another great update as always, Rohit! And thank you for representing the community over the past year - you’ve done a great job at conveying the wider community thoughts across platforms and countries. The next CBO has some big boots to fill!
RohitPakalapati hey Rohit. Thank you for reading my comment and sharing your feelings. I seriously think you did a great job just like Louis did the year before. Besides that why would you say we need a new CBO every year ? I am curious as to why we need a different person each year and what the consequences could be if we didn’t select a new CBO each year. Also the fact that there has already talked about making NDot come back to NOS so quick after removal makes me thing it’s part of the Nothing brand image. After all:we have thought off everything and come up with Nothing. This is a quote of one of the first video’s where also dots where used as a main theme. And what areas did you struggle in the most and how would you make sure the next CBO feels comfortable as soon as they enter the role ? Personally i think making them go in a call with you and discus how you do your daily tasks and deliver the community ’s view to the Nothing team in board meeting. Greetings max
Maxishappy As I said, this is just my personal opinion. I completely understand why there’s a vision that allows a CBO to serve for up to three years, and I support that too. Having continuity is a big advantage. For someone like me or Louis, who already knows the foundation and has strong relationships with the team, it’s easier to keep the momentum going each year. It’s definitely smoother for an experienced CBO to lead into the next year. But I also feel there are so many people in our community who are eager to represent and bring fresh perspectives, and that’s important too.
In terms of challenges, I’ve always mentioned that being on camera is something I struggle with. I’m not a natural, and I tend to overthink things because of the responsibility involved. It’s not just about delivering a message. It’s about representing the community accurately and considering how different groups will interpret what I say. For example, I often want to share update timelines with the community, but in reality, that responsibility stays with the team. It’s not something a CBO should be handling, and I really want everyone to understand that since it’s just not the best approach.
I’m proud of the work I do behind the scenes, and although being on camera isn’t always comfortable, I won’t step back from it just because it’s outside my comfort zone. Sometimes responsibilities mean doing things that push us. That said, if someone is naturally good at delivering these messages, they could probably make an even bigger impact.
When it comes to setting up the next CBO for success, I think it’s important to give them a clear view of how the role works and help them build confidence with the team from the start. This way, they’re ready to represent the community fully and bring their own strengths into the role.
RohitPakalapati Thank you Rohit! you are one among the inspirations to love Nothing & Nothing community.
I really look forward for your updates either here or in X.
Also, I loved that Last Punch Line ‘Dear Nothing, Thank you for Everything’.
RohitPakalapati too cool
Thank you @RohitPakalapati for being our voice. 
Thanks for the update as always, I wanted to get Nothing’s focus on a major issue that is only negatively affecting them.
And this issue is even happening on NothingOS beta updates which is even more frustrating.
Issue being, bug reports, even with logs attached, meant for the software team to help them find and fix issues are routing through normal customer support who provide troubleshooting methods and stuff as protocol for normal customer support.
And this wastes a lot of time of both the support team (no blame to them) and the user submitting a bug report and also discourages people from submitting bug reports to help fix the issue cause every single time this back and forth wastes a lot of time.
My request is to make the bridge between bug reports, especially with logs attached to be more straightforward so we can report bugs with no hassle and faster to help improve the software further.
Again, thank you for being the voice of the community. And I hope this major issue also reaches the team.
Am posting one example of the issue for single big report on NOS3.0 OB1 on NP2.
Bit late to this perhaps, but a big thank you to @RohitPakalapati for everything you have done. Your contributions to the community were extremely important and I loved your cinematic styled videos. You should definitely continue on your filmmaking path, you clearly have an eye for storytelling. Maybe we can work together on a short film sometime in the future ? (I have already created two in the past).
Either ways, you have left some giant shoes to fill for the next CBO. Excited for your future projects, do keep us updated.
flo_rahil Thank you, Rahil. A short film using the Nothing Phone to shoot was always on the cards, and I’m looking to start filming after the Phone (3) launch. Will definitely reach out to you for collaboration. I want everyone involved in that project from our community.
