## ⏱ Core Contributor Hours

This sprint we reported 219.25 hours of contributions, which is 3 hours more than the previous sprint of 216.25 hours. It was also reported to be a pretty productive sprint:

However we only achieved 25% response rate. It should be at least 3 times that size, if not 4 🙂
