### August 2022

1 - In the previous month, what milestones have you reached? Were there any particular challenges or any notable takeaways associated with that milestone?

* We had a slow first month (Aug 8-Sep 8) of getting off the ground as most of us were involved with or were attending DWeb Camp (Aug 22-29). However the event was a great opportunity for the Distributed Press to meet and feel cohesive before embarking on this new phase of the project.
* Our first milestone was to get in sync on communication, tooling, and meeting cadences. We are a distributed, cross-organizational, bilingual team so ensuring that we were in agreement about where and how our work was taking place is crucial. We have also begun to breakdown our milestones into issues, tasks, and tighter deadlines.
* Here is our main repo on Github where we are managing the project: https://github.com/hyphacoop/distributed-press-organizing/issues
* Sutty has a Riseup-hosted instance of Gitlab with more granular tracking for their milestones (in Spanish): https://0xacab.org/groups/sutty/-/milestones/1#tab-issues

2 - We are here to support you and your projects. Are there any areas where we could better support you?

* Not at the moment -- I (Mai) look forward to chatting with you (Brynn) next week and hearing more about the kind of support you have been providing to other project partners

3 - Communications and promotion: Are there any recent or upcoming communications opportunities we could promote to expand their reach?

Yes, two things: 
* Job description for our Part-Time Full Stake engineer role: We will begin publicizing that middle of next week (Wed Sep 21).
* COMPOST Issue 03 Call for Proposals: We hope to have that up on Monday Sep 19 so we will be looking to propagate that far and wide!
