Thanks as always for posting these threads Eunice 🙂 I’m “focused” on: - Structuring and helping with the launch of OWL (Open Web Labs) - early stage incubation program for Creators and Builders. (Createbase spin-off/sub-guild) - Team sync and sharing priorities with other teams/guilds at NEAR Core - 2x hiring processes for OWL/PM role and Tech Speaker Program - Publishing JDs for unfilled role (seems like we can find talent faster than I can write JDs 🤩 ) - Hackathons Lead - Community DevRel - Guilds/Community Ops lead - Working on a proposal for an Ecosystem Development Fund as a FoFs to support/grow our ecosystem and communities - OWC teams mentorship, support with funding/investment - Gitcoin partnership - PMing SputnikDAOs platform with MP - 👀 ---
