Over the past few weeks, much of my focus has been on Creatives DAO activities.

Here is the most recent budget for the month of July: [Budget] Creatives DAO Budget - July 2021

This week the focus is specifically on the upcoming Creatives Forum: [PROPOSAL] Creatives Community Forum event (not this forum, another one...)

As well as getting the creative guild leaders thinking about v2 SputnikDAO upgrades and the upcoming hackathon

#weekly-updates
This Community Squad Weekly is ON FIRE!!! :fire: :fire: :fire:

Last week was a good week to download plans and initiatives that will be aligning our efforts for the rest of Q3. On the hiring side, we continue our search for more members to join the team, we had some awesome interviews for ‘a killer’ Project Manager with Marketing experience. To close the week, I was invited to meet with the Ministry of Economy in Luxembourg, it was an insightful and enlightening meeting as Luxembourg is positioning to become the leader in Web3 applications adoption. Lots of great possibilities.

This week, we had a NEAR Foundation ALL HANDS, and today we will continue the ALL HANDS at a team level to go over our workload and 30-60-90 days plans.

The Hackathon series is coming along, we should be able to share all the details of the tracks and prizes this week. I am excited about including our Guilds in the organization of Hack-Nodes. I would be so happy if we could get all our community members to submit an application to activate a Hack-Node NEAR YOU! :boom:

Lastly, I am soooo looking forward to the Open Web Sandbox Party! Its about time!! :partying_face:
