Earn Square 14 in FME Community Bingo!

We’re celebrating summer with a fun surprise - FME Community Bingo kicks off today!

Starting Monday, August 11, 2025, we’re inviting all FME users to join in on a fun and interactive way to connect with fellow members of the FME Community.

Whether you’re answering a question, uploading an image, or participating in a team challenge, each completed task earns you a square on the Bingo board - and every square is a chance to win exciting prizes! 

Answer this Question of the Week to cross off Square 14 on the Bingo board.

Coffee, a bit of sunshine, and maybe browsing the FME Community for some quick, easy questions to answer :D


A good ol’wikipedia vacation for me. Virtually traveling to a location and finding all the little things that are linked to that location along the way. Did you know the Col de Naurouze, is the highest point (190 m above sea level) of the Canal du Midi in southern France? 😆

Great!


Play soccer and drink coffee.


Sometimes the day passes so fast that I suddenly realize it’s 2pm and I missed lunch. When that happens, the best way to catch up on lunch involves a proper Leicestershire cheese and onion cob. Google it, or watch this video!


Read up on what Takashi has been doing.


Take a walk, stretch my legs, make a tea and get back to it :) 


Read a few chapters in a book, take a walk, or play with the dog :)

 


Walk the dog or do a quick workout :)


doom-scrolling tiktok!


Take a walk or chat with a coworker!


Step outside with my dog for a cup of coffee or lunch!

 


A coffee, walk and a bit of a rest.


take a walk, music, water plants


Take my dog for a walk!


It’s more of an after work break, but I head into the garage to either do a gym workout (spy the FME bag as my Gym bag), or spanner away at my 1976 Classic Mini!
 

 


 

 


Water my plants when working from home, and a quick check in with colleagues around office when onsite


Track down my dog and give her all the belly rubs. 


Take a walk around our building(s) with my colleagues!


@hkingsbury A Mini and a Land Rover! Colour me jealous. I used to have an ‘81 Mini and was part-owner of a LWB Land Rover from about the same era. Alas, both are long gone now :-(

 


Deep in a FME project, I suddenly realise it's been 4 hours and my stomach is growling. I go feed myself while arguing with chatgpt about its wrong transformer suggestions!


Going for a walk, triggering the dog’s zoomies, or wondering if the FME Lizard will get in on the new “lizard” social media trend.


Coffee is the answer. Whether it’s a morning break, or an afternoon break, there is always coffee.

@mark2atsafe The Land Rover is my mates, they’re both 1976, expect the Land Rover was Australian built, but the Mini was UK built. Crazy to think, if they were both originally from the same country, they could’ve been built alongside each other!


Like many, A walk, cup of tea, food, anything to break my mind away from the problem so my brain can get a chance to get a different perspective.
