We’re publishing our Event Pattern Language for the first time. This document has historically served as reference material for members applying to the Event Keys program, but we think this pattern language should be in the public domain.
We’ve updated the patterns to reflect cultural evolutions and continued learning in the three years since its original writing. We hope it resonates. We invite you to use this pattern language as a starting point for an event pattern language for your community.
See you IRL, soon (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

- Hi Lens friends, gonna try something different and dox myself for a sec: this is @lens/hun3y behind the handle (is BTH the new BTS??) here to share my announcement as FWB's first Chief Marketing Officer. I wrote a brief editorial outlining the driving themes behind FWB's brand and marketing in 2024. Read it here >>> https://www.fwb.help/editorial/dont-hire-a-cmo
"I’ve spent the last few years afraid of marketing.
I joined crypto at the time when the intro channels of DAO Discord servers were overflowing with new entrants eager to contribute. As a non-technical contributor, I was the odd anon out; literally just a girl offering soft skills at a time when few people wanted to talk about marketing.
Like funding, followers are easy to come by during hype cycles. The explosive follower growth of some of our favorite blue chip brands in crypto is directly correlated to the frothy funding conditions of the last cycle.
This is not to deny the power of these brands. It’s exactly the opposite – there is immense untapped opportunity for these brands to compound their well-earned hype cycle growth into a new phase of brand maturity."
The complete essay >>> https://www.fwb.help/editorial/dont-hire-a-cmo
- **EMERGING ENTITIES FOR EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES a new editorial from FWB member David Kerr**
David Kerr writes about the latest DAO entity structure out of Wyoming — the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, or WY DUNA for short. The new legislation goes into effect on July 1, 2024.
While the WY DUNA does not serve FWB’s structure, it showcases how developing technology impacts existing laws without conveying preferential treatment to those that use it.
DAOs remain a critical component within the web3 ecosystem as token-based governance is the most effective and common mechanism to reflect community decision-making.

FWB & our members have always been early. When programming FEST this year, it felt important to address the landmark Ws + Ls emerging technology has taken over the last three years, while still looking ahead at what’s next.
Our initial speaker roster does just that— they too have always been early, and are collectively investigating boundary-pushing ideas across the world wide web and beyond.

- Shumon Basar is the author of beloved, cult reads "The Extreme Self" and "The Age of Earthquakes." He gave an original talk at FEST 2023 Main Stage titled "The Lore of Lorecore"
Lore has embedded itself in crypto, and "core" is core to our zeitgeist. Basar asks, "If it isn't a core, did it happen?"

- gm. it's a great time to be building at the intersection of emerging tech and culture.
- We sat down with our friend Stefen Deleveaux, founder & curator of Oasis Onchain for a new series called: "It Started @ FEST" showcasing the projects + initiatives that include FWB FEST as part of their 𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖊.
"My experience at FEST was actually what gave me both the final push and the blueprint for Oasis.
It was the confirmation that I had to make Oasis happen, and that I wanted it to have a somewhat similar feel to FEST, of course with its own island flavor."
Read the full Q&A, including Stefen's favorite snack (it surprised us too) https://www.fwb.help/editorial/FEST-oasis-onchain
