πͺ The weather this week has been stormy!
I did two things to make progress last week, go me! π€Έπ»ββοΈ
1οΈβ£ Thing One I did was to set up a Job board and Talent Pool, do feel free to post your jobs or apply for our Talent Pool if you are on the hunt for work.
2οΈβ£ Thing Two I did was I spent a good chunk of my time migrating content on Rosieland. It was painful! π
π The good news is that Rosieland now has a fresh look! It allows me to move forward with more of a membership model as a sustainable income, whilst allowing the community part to be free. (I still have some previous members to migrate over ππ½).
β€οΈ MyοΈ real dream (or goal?!) is to put out 100% of our work out there for free and as an independent community and resource. I believe we can get there, just not overnight.
Onwards onto the things I found this week in community...
