Happy week! We are now on a high-speed train 🚄 with laser focus on our deliverables and the value-creation for our NEAR ecosystem. Last week was a crucial week for the team, we kicked off our 30-day work plan and participated in our first DemoDay. All this means that for this week our priorities are as follow: - Use the We Are Open toolkit (we learned in the last weeks) to sync and prioritise our work streams. We will select our next 2-week sprint deliverables that will be presented in the next DemoDay. - Initiate the onabording of our new team member for the Community OS Specialist role. - Support the Soft-Launch Of Angel DAO - Our Community Squad DAO will have its first iteration of Governance - By Wednesday we will start sharing all our key success metrics for Q2 with the rest of the NEAR Ecosystem. ---
