Every other week, we alternate Engineering updates with community updates. Engineering updates are fairly straight-forward because they line up with team sprints. For community updates, let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions on how I can organize the content and what type of information is interesting and relevant. I toyed with the idea of ECC Teams sections like Growth, Product, Leadership, etc… but it didn’t seem to reflect outside community enough. I like the idea of showcasing groups and meetups like ZcashLA.
Another thought is to use this space to pose a weekly discussion question around different aspects of “privacy” outside the context of Zcash. What other community updates would you like to see more of?
Thanks for your feedback and have a great weekend y’all!
