  • Posted key community engagement updates ([UPDATE] Guilds Program Funding Approach) and the Hack Nodes Open Call [after lengthy discussion with @starpause and @chloe)

  • Engaged in the flurry of end-of-month rewards for the OWS with fellow council - there was such incredible meme-creation engagement especially for July that the
    Sandbox had to request additional funds from the CommunitySquad DAO!

  • Finalized logistics and produced the OWS Monthly Party on Thursday – 65 attendees made for a great party :rainbow: and look out for the next one at the end of August (*wink August 26 *wink)

  • Met with @arroz-criativo to discuss a Lisbon Hack Node and the development of the Lisboa - NEAR Forum [Lisbon City Node]

  • Planned & set the upcoming Ecosystem Development and Ecosystem Success Meeting with reps from Grants/Funding, OWC, NEAR MarCom Team, and Ecosystem Success Team – it’s going to be a great conversation that will open up solid lines of communication and process flows across these four different teams!

  • Chatted Ecosystem DAOs with @jlwaugh and governance experiments moving forward - CommunitySquad DAO folks, watch out.

This Week:

  • Proposed (and on the verge of implementing) NEAR Community Guidelines for the Forum

  • Worked with the wonderful @blaze and @fortune to set up the Community BUIDLers Guild which is dedicated to creating and curating information throughout the NEARverse - think Wiki information Portal (and the NEAR Wiki too)

  • Joined the Subreddit as a mod and identified an initiative on the marketing front which will be proposed ASAP

  • Aligned with the legend that is @Ozymandius and got onboarded into the wider NEAR Community Ecosystem ( I :heart: Degens)

  • Continued to chase updates from previously funded projects in the NEAR Ecosystem
