[Monthly Update] Hi Friends and Fellow Guilds! 
Long time, no see 
That’s my bad, been busy travelling in business on one of the NEAR-based projects 
First of all, I’ve been really happy to learn that the #s2-guild have become the official East African Office for the NEAR-based 
Open Forest Protocol 
! Congratulations @Mazi and the Team 
The INC4 are the official development team of the Protocol, I run the team and tech delivery, so we’ll have a chance to cooperate even more 
I have had a pleasure of meeting the brilliant Sankore 2.0 Guild team when they introduced me to the idea of building a NEAR-based DeFi platform for modelling industry 
. My team liked the idea and the cause that it covers. I’m happy to be of any help here, and hopefully we’ll manage to get this going 
As for the INC4 Guild August activities:
We have completed Astro 
landing with NEAR wallet authorisation for @starpause
We have integrated the Tockify calendar 
to the Events - Near Guilds, so that all NEAR-held events could be automatically posted on the website 
Also, we’re currently discussing with @shreyas a possibility of automation of the NEAR Guilds’ info updates in the directory straight from the github upon data commit to the repos 
The long-awaited application 
for @arroz-criativo is in progress, and this is where the whole team’s capacity is currently concentrated. We faced a blocker issue 
with the NEAR wallet integration for payments processing, but it’s been tackled 
and we’re good to go. The Client App has been fully completed, the Admin App design and architecture are all set, and now we’re busy developing synchronisation 
between the app and the NEAR Wallet 
Check the Admin App designs and let me know what you think 
@cryptocredit Carl, I know that you’re waiting eagerly to start, and thank you for your patience! Roughly estimating, we should finish with the Arroz app by the end of September, and we’ll start on your app right away
And the last, but not the least, I will also share a failure of mine. I have not managed to organise the Kyiv Hack Node, unfortunately 
. There’s been a number of reasons and factors that led to this, but anyways, the road to success is paved with failure, so I’ll keep on walking
