No, we're not becoming EUGs...
Let's get the elephant in the room cleared up first. PUGS are staying PUGS. Now with that out of the way, let's move onto what this post really is for. With the rebrand to Everpure, we have the opportunity to create distinct visual identities for PUG chapters. To ensure this is a truly community-driven process, we are requesting community members (YOU & your peers) create a mood board for your chapter. Here's the steps for doing this: Request Input: Each chapter leader will be creating a post on your chapter's group discussion board requesting mood board inputs. These inputs must be received by April 30th, 2026 to be considered. If your chapter has not provided any inputs by the deadline, you will not receive a custom logo. Research & Discussion within the chapter: Post in the discussion thread any inspiration you think should be included in the mood board. Conversation on the inclusion or exclusion of any elements is encouraged! Group consensus will govern what goes on the moodboards. Mood board creation: I will add all elements agreed on by each chapter to the mood board the first week of May. Approval: Mood boards will be sent back to each chapter for approval. (May 11-15) Design: Moodboard will be submitted to the Brand team for design work. Reveal: New logos will be released this summer! Please review the attached PDF for further details and examples. I hope you all are as excited about this as I am! Let me know if you have any questions. -Bri

🏀 Will you have a perfect bracket? 🗑️
It's Madness!! March Madness that is! Join the Everpure community bracket contest and make your bracket today. ⏰ ESPN closes bracket selection on Thursday, 3/19 @ 12:15p ET, so be sure to lock in your selections before then. Once you have a completed bracket, come back to this post to share yours, join in on the trash talk, and cheer on the cinderella stories! Will Duke and Arizona be dueling in the tournament final? How far can Kennesaw St, McNeese, or Hofstra get? Is your alma mater in the tourney? As a Jayhawk, this is always one of the most exciting and nerve wracking times of year for me! I'm bummed we're a 4 seed this year, but we've been playing so hot and cold this season, I get why.

Pure Certifications
Hey gang, If any of you currently hold a Flash Array certification there is an alternative to retaking the test to renew your cert. The Continuing Pure Education (CPE) program takes into account learning activities and community engagement and contribution hours to renew your FA certification. I just successfully renewed my Flash Array Storage Professional cert by tracking my activities. Below are the details I received from Pure. Customers can earn 1 CPE credit per hour of session attendance at Accelerate, for a maximum of 10 CPEs total (i.e., up to 10 hours of sessions). Sessions must be attended live. I would go ahead and add all the sessions you attended at Accelerate to the CPE_Submission form. Associate-level certifications will auto-renew as long as there is at least one active higher-level certification (e.g., Data Storage Associate will auto-renew anytime a Professional-level cert is renewed). All certifications other than the Data Storage Associate should be renewed separately. At this time, the CPE program only applies to FlashArray-based exams. Non- FA exams may be renewed by retaking the respective test every three years. You should be able to get the CPE submission form from your account team. Once complete email your recertification Log to peak-education@purestorage.com for formal processing. -Charlie

Holiday Monday Funday: The Gift You’ll Never Forget 🎁
As we are the midst and even closer to the holiday season, we hope you all are spending quality time with yourself and loved ones. If you've spent time on here with us, we're that much more grateful. For a little bit of Monday Fun before the holidays hit, I will throw out this community question: What is the best gift you remember receiving? It could be not just from the holidays, but any occasion. We'd love to hear it, so share it with us!

Community Creative Corner: Holiday Edition 🎄
The holidays are the perfect time to get creative and as we are just about two weeks out from the big Christmas Holiday, we make this Wednesday Creative Corner all about what creative things you're pulling together for the season! Are you putting together a Christmas Light show the town is excited to see? Any new holiday recipes you'd like to show the community? Your Christmas tree or house interior decorated to the tee? We want to see it! Here's how to share: Share a photo, a link, a demo even (if you're feeling up to it!) or simply tell us about what you've been working on. Remember to comment on other community members' creations as well! Let's inspire each other and celebrate the diverse talents within our community. We can't wait to see what you've been up to!
