Hi everyone!
Yesterday we reached a massive milestone and now have 110 people in our Slack community from across the world. 🎉
The stronger we are, the better we are positioned to help each other make an impact. Please keep spreading the word about us (hashtag: #StayHomeHack), bring your friends and get engaged in the community!
An unprecedented need for innovation is upon us, and every assumption around how we stay connected, productive and healthy is being challenged.
As our community matures, I want to let you know about how we are supporting you to solve these unanticipated problems.
