This Week
Fundraising discovery survey results are out
The results of the survey show that the majority of D_D members favor funding educational content produced inside the DAO (e.g. via D_D Academy) as well as funding hackathons (like Web3Con). The main challenges for fundraising appear to be legal issues – fixing this is a priority for our Fundraising Operators @Wikist and @Chuck. For a full breakdown of the survey results, see here. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
D_D Monthly Town Hall
A reminder that D_D Town Halls take place on the last Friday of each month, with the next one scheduled for Oct 28th. Attending these is a great way to hear about progress around various initiatives, to learn about the state of D_D more generally (also see the #state-of-the-dao channel in Discord), and to participate in quizzes and raffles (usually at the end of the Town Hall).
For a full list of D_D internal events, head to #d_d-events under Events in Discord. For external events and opportunities to meet D_D members at IRL conferences and events, head to #external-events.
