D_D Server Architect Team is working to move the Wellness session, hosted by @emm, to the #developer-voice channel as it was observed that more participation by members was recorded in the last Wellness session hosted on the #developer-voice channel. So also, the 🧠 mental-health channel will be moved to the VIBES category to give it more publicity on the server.
Coinbase Collaboration
Coinbase and D_D are have some exciting events in the works! Billyjitsu is developing a framework for developer-focused meetups as part of this collaboration. The first event will take place during A16z's Tech Week in Los Angeles and will consist of a workshop followed by a panel discussion with industry professionals.
The event will prioritize members of the Developer DAO, creating a smaller and more intimate environment for about 40 people. Potentially larger players are expected to be part of the event; more details will be announced soon.
