Yes, lots going on indeed! #weekly-updates

The hackathon closing took place this past weekend, we had the great opportunity to talk one on one with participants that reached out and shared their story and post hackathon vision. Lots of great ideas are being concretise and move forward towards tangible products. More news to come!

We have secured the funds for the ‘Community Fund’ that is available to support our community, new Guilds have formed making the Ecosystem better prepared to assist creators and entrepreneurs in their product launch efforts. A big shoutout to @Ozymandius and team for the amazing leadership in empowering 7 new Guilds in our Ecosystem, check out the New GUILDS!

I am also very excited about the Re-Launch of the #sandbox Guild @Sofia_Alum and @mecsbecs will be working very closely together to make this Guild the HOME where all contributors and guild leaders come together and explore the options available within the NEAR Ecosystem. Stay tune for the #sandbox Re-Launch Party :partying_face: you are all invited!!

A Community organised Townhall meeting will take place this week on Thursday, awesome news around the Guilds and Contributors Programs, @Ozymandius can share more details.

From the CommunityOS front, I am aiming to post an update this week and seek for feedback from community members. :star_struck:

Also Kudos to @shreyas for his awesome post on his experience as a community builder and as part of the CommunitySquad Team, check this out!

The MarCom teams are having an ‘All hands planning week’ which should lead to the first draft of our Q3 Objectives and Key Results :railway_track:
