As we head into the next two weeks, we're going to be spending less time online and more time with our families and friends. We hope you understand.
We'll still be checking in, but don't expect to hear back from as us as swiftly as usual.
We really hope you all have a good festive period and manage to get time to take a break! ๐

As @npub10j9y...90pt comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved.
Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast.
Instrumental in building our relationships with others in this space, he has helped build the Foundation into what you see today.
We really hope that Freddie will stay involved in the Social Web, especially in areas of advocacy and policy where he excels.
But, for now, we just want to say a huge thank you ๐งก

This week we have a very important question.
Does tinsel belong on a Christmas tree? ๐
This is one of the greatest debates of the holiday season and we'd love to know your thoughts. Whether you're into tinsel or not, we want to know how you're decorating and maybe even see your trees ๐

Growing the open social web: case studies from Newsmast - SFSCON
SFSCON Talk
As more and more organisations and groups come to us asking how they can build their own app, a digital space dedicated to their community and brand, we wanted to introduce you to the team behind the scenes.
Our technical partners are incredibly talented and have worked with charities in the past, including a project by one of our founders who recommended we work with them across the Newsmast tech stack.
We're proud to be working with them! ๐งก

Do you see sport content on the Social Web?
Sport is the biggest industry in the world. Not only does it provide entertainment, it builds communities.
But, we're wondering, how much sport content do you see here and what kind? Is it sports content that is relevant to you? What other sport content would you like to see?
Please feel free to share your thoughts in the replies and boost for more to get involved! โพ
