gm,

before we start, we'd like to invite you to the Kiwi Open Community Call that happens on 14/08 @ 16:00 CET.

You don't need to have a Kiwi Pass - being a reader of this newsletter is enough. At the call, we will chat about the project, get to know each other and have fun.

You can find the link to Twitter Spaces here.
And the link to the Google Calendar event is here (it's a weekly event, so that's why it starts on 31/07).

Here are the top links from the last week:
