Hello everyone, and happy October! Here's a snappy update on the
Foundation's September doings.

We took over the Zcash forum and the chat:
https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/forum-handover-url-change/31168

We sponsored the Zero Knowledge Summit in Berlin. Check out the videos from
the event:

The Foundation also sponsored Crypto Springs in Palm Springs (in fact, Josh
is attending right now).

We launched a full guide to running Zcash meetups:

Unveiled our new visual branding:

Announced an upcoming meetup during SF Blockchain Week:

The Foundation also continued to work on technical hiring. A couple of
favored candidates fell through, unfortunately, but we're pursuing multiple
proposals for reference wallet implementations (both on mobile and
desktop). We still want to hire a protocol developer, so please send this
link to anyone who might be interested:

We started fleshing out the new website, which will be more organized and
accessible — see the WIP here:
https://github.com/RichardLitt/zcashfoundation.github.io

We started brainstorming a revamped, nimbler Grants Program. Details are
still being figured out.

And lastly, Antonie is still doing early planning for Zcon1. We hope to
announce a location soon!
