This is a short-term solution while we experiment with the new algorithm and begin a focused organizational development phase. If enough folks have a yes to talking about this, Rachelll will organize a meeting to discuss more.

- Ezra and Zevi have proposed a series of SoapBoxes and Town Halls to support relationality, processing and forward motion around:

## 🌎 Cultivation

### 🤝 Co-communities

- [Pangea](https://mirror.xyz/pangeadao.eth/Ib7UXhAfPczBpR-DmNXjXlEVObM0Pu5uPranCoik-qY)is announcing via twitter that they will be using SC to decentralize their org and its contributors’ labor and we will be re-tweeting this!
- STACKS advocates is using CredEquate!
  - They didn’t want to start without being able to pay us dependencies
  - Shoutout to Hz for finding some solutions in the meantime  

### 📡 MarComms

- Aloysious organized a Bridge Building Demonstration w/ geleeroyale

- Moving to include invitations on twitter to our Community call, dev demos, book club and maybe QAF and future fireside with Seth and Ryeder at Stacks

- Began collaborating on a[statement of intent](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ZnvEKi-XX1ihfX2D_SXAVin-8Mr8GmUTnDaorAbKfo/edit?usp=sharing) for the newsletter to support wider transparency about this effort

  

### 🌱 Internal Cultivation

### 🌐 Onboarding Systems

- Ezra posted an SOP for [Facilitation Tech Role Abilities](https://sourcecred.io/docs/internal/sop-facilitation-tech/#iii-meeting-notes) to support documentation and to support onboarding efforts

### ⛑ Care Team

- Launching a channel within discord along with a protocol and process for requesting specific types of care within the Server from those who identify as Care Team Members

## 🗣 Facilitation

- Aloysious saw to it that #facilitation-roles were changed to #facilitation for easier communicating and the **Facilitation channel** is being terraformed by a handful of folx looking to hone in on some structures that support the decentralization and demystification of facilitation!
  - The following individuals have been given the ability to summon craig: bubbles, ezra, gabriel, zevi, merrick, morgan, rachelll, willow, nav

### 🧮 Treasury

- Ezra created an awesome spreadsheet to support clarity, bottomlining, accounting and transparency for outstanding grant opportunities and Ryeder has added newer info to it (Pinned in the grants channel!)

- An effort to prioritize grants for March 31 is underway to best utilize matching offers available to us at this time. Gabriel is bottom-lining so reach out to get involved.

### ✨ Mutual Aid ✨

- We were able to collectively gather $250 for an internal mutual aid effort.
  - Zevi is inviting people to contribute to the mutual aid pool as they can so that when need arises we can mobilize support efforts. We currently have $97.

_there is a spreadsheet for transparency and contributors can request access at any point_

## 💻 Product Development

- Thena added a public doc for [Maintaining a SourceCred Instance](https://sourcecred.io/docs/guides/instance-maintenance/)!

- Check out Thena’s CredEquate [observable!](https://observablehq.com/@sourcecred/credequate-simulator) You can use this to try different weight configs on our discord server’s data to see cred results.

- With the release of CredEquate, we are rolling out new emojis to denote the value of contributions, based on a Fibonacci curve! These emojis were brought to life in graphic form by the one and only magwalk. They are viewable [here:](https://discord.com/channels/453243919774253079/454007880111095808/940732028633116743)

- The votes are in for our naming strategy! The community agreed that: 1flow: :3flow: :5flow: best reflects our values, and is clear and legible (especially to newcomers)!
