Before I get into it, I just want to mention that [filling in Listaflow CC Check-in](https://app.listaflow.com/lists) helps identify issues, blockers, and collaboration opportunities, whilst also aggregating total Core Contributor hours. In turn it allows us to showcase our contributions and accomplishments to the broader community.

### Okay, let’s get to it. Here’s a **snapshot** of our last CC sprint…

* * *

There was a total of **532.75 hours** of contributions reported, which is **431.75 hours more** than the previous sprint of 101 hours. Amazing stuff!

The overall checklist response rate was **45% for this sprint** , which is a **27% increase** from last sprint.
