Community
Project Updates / Announcements
Moving forward, Town Halls will officially move under Community Guild management. These meetings will now take place at the end of each calendar month. They will include more of a Q&A-type format to generate discussion and hear the thoughts of the entire community.
In an effort to clean up our Discord server, messages will be going out to each channel to gauge if the channel is still required and to add descriptions to the channels that stay. This will remove unnecessary channels and help other members better navigate the server.
Help Needed
If you would like to help plan the new format of the DAO Town Hall meetings, hop in the #👫-town-hall channel and say hello!
The next 👫D_D Community Guild Weekly meeting is Thursday at 1:00 pm UTC. Be sure to RSVP in the #🗓️-d_d-events channel.
