 <p>
     Hi there,
 </p>
 <p>
-Over the past quarter, we've shipped a variety of features which add flexibility to your bounty toolkit. First, we provided options to have contest bounties and coooperative bounties.
-Then, we introduced 'Approval Only' bounties, where Gitcoiner's apply before starting work. Now, we've announced a few more often requested features!
-Learn more about <a href="https://medium.com/gitcoin/payout-several-contributors-at-once-8742c13a8fdd">1) multi-payout bounties</a> and <a href="https://medium.com/gitcoin/crowdfunding-bounties-fd821b04309d">2) crowdfunding bounties.</a>
+We are consistently asked how Gitcoin, an open source network, has built such an invaluable community.
+To this end, I wrote <a href="https://medium.com/p/a5293ecca60a/edit">How to BUIDL a Mesh Network of Human Beings.</a> This piece
+examines the psychology and thought process we've put into building the Gitcoin community. We're lucky each one of you has chosen to be a part.
 </p>
 
 <p>
-We also posted on the <a href="https://medium.com/gitcoin/a-brief-history-of-gas-prices-on-ethereum-52e278a04306">History of Gas on Ethereum.</a> As a dApp built on ethereum,
-we think it's important to understand a) what gas is, b) how it's fluctutated over time, and c) plans for stabilizing gas prices into the future. Hope you enjoy!
+We also announced a <a href="https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/ens-gitcoin-3654594537b8">partnership with the Ethereum Name Service.</a> We believe
+ENS integrations are an important next step in decentralization, and are proud to sponsor any Github issues to integrate ENS into your dApps. Just open up a Github issue
+and let us know - we'll take it from there.
