Wait before I say congrats you do what while bounty hunting?! From what I heard swooping is bad.
Now congratulations.
Now congratulations.
Welcome Arthur.
Please just try to get us the LONG DESIRED info about VR support for Odyssey and what the current plans for it are. Though NO PR-SPEECH please.
Welcome. My input as you start this journey:
I wrote a long screed about Kickstarter comms versus what FD have evolved to and how disappointing the new style is compared to the old. But it was just too many words and detail I think. So, ... this
As you start your journey, please read the DDF, all the old newsletters and Dev Diary videos and forum posts. That's what we need from community management. And maybe innovation in game news from in-game to match the innovative tech FD produces. Review the entire Suggestions Thread and every new post placed in it and recap with developers and ensure player voices are heard in the roadmap of endless feature requests.
Last thing I want and that adds zero value is a lunch stream just playing the game all of us can play and announcements of coming announcements. Also, anyone can post patch notes. None of that is "community management".
In fact, a good start might be a discussion with the community of just what we want to see from the money FD spends on community management and forums. That could be interesting and value added.
Good luck!

And as is said, see you in the black. Or not.

Welcome sir! Nice to have a community manager who's a declared player! Hope you've got a thick skin as all is not well in ED land at present.... PLEASE bear in mind a majority of the salt (nay 'vitriol') stems (usually) from a deep and abiding love for the game. We're headed in the right direction, but it's a bit of a bumpy road on the way there!

Good morning, I know you have only been a short time .... but will communications continue the same? leaving the game half broken for up to a week? with this it will be 2 weeks. Sorry to be rude, but personally, do you think this is have a good communication? Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience, I do not even want to imagine the work you must have to not be able to write a single sentence.
"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' streaming accounts is no basis for a system of community management! Supreme forum power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
With apologies to Arthur (my liege) and Monty Python.

Welcome cmdr we at pbsf o7 you
I don’t think so. Not without VR support.
And that is all the communication we have from the frontier about the problems of the game.
Osiris paintjobs, and his lead community manager's favorite python movie. 
(I'm really sorry for you Arthur, but try to understand us, after they promised us more communication, this looks ridiculous with the amount of current problems)
