start with NY?
fulfillment focused + owning production – vertical integration
- research and effort indicates current solution is not sustainable
- trade known problems of them vs. unknown of problems of us owning
navy yard is being looked at for space
- same location as decode (zero waste design team)

- how many other ppl are doing small batch limited run street wear stuff that could benefit from what we are trying to do with owning fullfilment?
damanged goods does not want to keep things in ware house for more than 30 days. on demand is better than pre printing
(drew) lootbox. some expensive rare shit or generic socks. put dead inventory in mystery boxes

a lot of work for eth denver logistics

a lot of interest in many communities for open metaverse movement – coordination is main challenge
connect all webxr virtual worlds and communities building open metaverse worlds
sandbox lab interop going from one world to the next brining avatar, nfts, etc.
metafactory, m3, + 2 others specifically named – shared cal in hub metaverse world
event in neos VR – hubs on steriods. multi player game engine. on PC and steam. not as accessible as browser based platforms. we will get someone to stream it. we're going to show the possibilities and potential of this kind of stuff. so many teams are heads down building they dont look up to see what others are doing.
stuff you build in neos can be exported very easily. its like vrc but more crypto friendly
(drew) – the importance of staying agnostic and objective in this space is good. jin does good job of staying agnostic and objective
1/28/22 4 eastern jin will drop stream link for metaverse meeting of communities interested in building together
