any other euros going? hmu and we'll make a EU open team
Will probably come out for a week though so I can actually see some of LA rather than flying straight home;

305 quid to go across the pond, and then some, and back? I'm jealous. To do the same from Winnipeg would be at least $650.

McJohn pretty much said "fake news":
/u/vMcJohnHi! Valve employee here. The bug report is incorrect. VAC will not ban you for simply having catbot in your user name (either your steam profile or on one or more of your linux accounts).
The bug report--and I suspect many of the posts in this thread--are a tactic employed by cheaters to try and sow discord and distrust among anticheat systems.
VAC has many different types of detections and we cannot discuss what they do publicly because doing so makes them less effective. However, one thing I can disclose is that all detections require that the detection occur while a user is actively cheating and connected to a VAC-secured server.
Linux historically hasn't been a problem for cheating--the base rate of cheating is significantly lower on Linux than it is on Windows. Unfortunately, a "healthy" community of cheaters grew up around catbot on linux and their impact on TF became large enough that they simply could no longer be ignored. Those banned users are very annoyed that VAC has dropped the hammer on them.
Kisak moderates many of valve's github bug repositories for us in an attempt to keep the bugs high quality and actionable. The VAC team asked him to close the issue in question and to indicate that github was not an appropriate location to discuss VAC bans. He did so, and we support this action.
For proof that I am a Valve employee, you can check my posting flair in the other subs I post on (/r/CSGO and /r/tf2) or a mod can message me and we can work on confirmation using my work email and PMs.

AccordIf we make a reddit post the mods will probably pin it since many of the mods want to help promote the comp scene as much as possible, it would also help a lot with signups
Send your golf claps to /u/PurnPum. Or a party through the streets, I guess.
Hermann_von_SalsaSmin2017 Saxxy Awards with a due date in 2018? Well played valve
I assume it was Update's fault why it's so late
Tho it's still kinda dissapointing :/
It would probably be the fault of their Lincoln Square Expansion move in September, which would've been about when they would've announced it in past years. By the way, now that they're there, the Best Overall winners will be the first winners to see the new space.

TF2 & SFM TeamIt's time to announce the Saxxy Awards for 2017, and we couldn't be more excited!
We can't wait to see what variety of amazing videos you create! Don't forget that all Valve universes are available for use, and SFM shorts that were submitted to the Dota Short Film Contest are also eligible for this year's Saxxy Awards. The submission deadline is March 8th, 2018, but as always, we'd like to remind you that you can upload non-final versions up to a week in advance of the final deadline, to guard against last-minute computer failures, internet outages, YouTube login problems, etc.
Check out the guidelines for details on the rules and deadlines, and get your entries ready!
