WGMI.community Newsletter March, 1st 2022

March 2nd, 2022

Welcome WGMI!

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome everyone to the WGMI Community.

Since this is our first Newsletter, let me lay out what WGMI is trying to do by sharing our Mission, Vision and Values.

Mission 🎯

Build a community of community leaders in web3.

Vision 🔮

We see a world where community leaders, directors, managers, and more are leading the future businesses and technologies of the world.

Values 🤝

🥇 Community First

We believe heavily in Community first. To be successful as a community and as community leaders in the space–we must put others before ourselves. We are all incentivized to be here personally, but the collective long-term value of collaboration outweighs the short-term gains by a single member of this community. This group strives to put the We in Web3.

🤝 Collaboration

The internet sure did not build itself. There is also no single founder of the web, blockchain, or Ethereum. There are thousands of engineers, contributors, inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs that made the access to connectivity what it is today. We believe heavily in leveraging everyone’s skills to achieve a common goal.

🗨️ Transparency

There is no us and them in Community. There is only the monster of coordination that we are all fighting over—in web3 we call this “Moloch”. Our community is fighting to become more efficient, more collaborative—we can only achieve this through transparency and clear communication to all.

💯 Contribution

We believe in solving problems, fixing issues and participation for the sake of the community. Our members willingly contribute content, communication, code, and effort to help the greater cause. There is the understanding that work = pay, however, in the beginning, to gain the community’s trust, value is interpreted as how much you contribute to the whole before the whole gives back to you. This is a trustless agreement between the community and ourselves. We give more than we take.

If you have seen this before it means you have been in our notion and are on your way to being a contributor. We cannot wait to have you come aboard!

If you have not and this sounds like something you want to be a part of then please join our discord and raise your hand. We would love to have you.

Whether you are an Oops level discord Wizard or a Crypto newbie, we are hoping to give you the information and skills to level yourself up and empower you to go and build and manage a Web3 community!

ETHDenver Update!

The WGMI squad was well represented at #ETHDenver this year. Matt, Faith, iSpeakNerd, Manavarro, and Reese were all on site and spreading the WGMI message.

Metapod

Matt and iSpeakNerd pitched to Metapod. While we did not win the competition, we did manage to meet a few legends in the crypto community sphere. No alpha leak, but keep your eyes peeled. There is definitely more to come in this space!

After the Metapod pitch we had the first IRL WGMI meet up at Hydra!

After realizing that none of us look like our profile pictures we promptly started Jamming on what we think the future of WGMI looks like… We are very excited by the potential to impact Web3 in this community!

All throughout the week Oops was running around in his Pikachu onesie handing out physical POAPs... I am not positive but I am fairly confident he’s the most prolific in-person POAP distributor of all time.

Changes in the Discord

There were some substantial changes in the Discord today. We have streamlined and condensed many of our prior channels to make it easier to get a sense of what’s going on in WGMI, and to make it easier for people to hop in and get up to speed. We hope this new structure makes a more enjoyable experience for all of community members (New and Old!)
