D_D at Devconnect Amsterdam
Devconnect Amsterdam is taking place between Apr 18th and 25th. To stay in the loop about IRL D_D events and connect with fellow DAO members, join the #devconnect-amsterdam-april-2022 thread under #external-events (under the Events Discord section).
Sponsors
In lieu of our regular weekly sponsor, Probably Nothing would like to thank the sponsors that made it possible for Developer DAO members to attend and gather for ETH Dubai. They did it by sponsoring conference tickets, member lunches, and travel. Having a presence at these events is crucial to the professional development of our membership and the growth of our DAO. Those sponsors in no particular order:
Nervos - Offering a suite of integrated solutions that allow developers to build Universal Apps.
Spheron - Deploy Your Full Stack App to the Decentralized cloud.
Ankr - Decentralized Infrastructure to Build and Earn in Web3.
LazerPay - Empower your business to accept payments globally, earn rewards and invest in crypto.
Thanks again for making ETH Dubai possible for D_D!

Guild News
Governance
Project Updates / Announcements
Discussions are taking place on how we can accommodate non-English speakers across the DAO. One of the main ideas under review is optional language roles, allowing someone to see other members in a channel who speak the same language. This will help facilitate conversation between members directly, instead of getting lost in the specific language channels. Read more in the “Language Tags and Language Ambassadors?” thread under the #💬-gov-discussion-public channel.
