Happy Monday!! @weekly-updates
What a pleasure to start this week with our Open Web Community Hack. I am thrilled to get to know the participants and see their excitement to learn more about social tokens, DAOs and NFTs.

We continue our 2-week sprint, we had a super cool sprint planning last week with the marketing team and this week will be our MarCom DemoDay.
In the meantime, our focus in on the main objectives:

• Transform ourselves: Progress on the onboarding experience.
• Hack awareness: Review options to improve the experience on all our community touch points (TG, Discourse and Discord)
• Boost Communities: Funding Proposal Process review and streamlining
  The icing the cake is the review of OKRs as we are half way into our Q2…

My dream is that one day we would have a Community OS Dashboard… … my nerd side always comes out when I think of dashboards
