As mentioned in June 2019, WiDGET has been planning on doing a “reset” as an organisation with the goal of being more inclusive. Today, we are very happy to announce that we are now Making Space!

[Making Space @makingspacecoop]

Uh... so we *finally* sent responses to the board applications from yonks ago. If you applied, check your inbox! [Spoiler: you all are accepted!] But also, wow that took us a long time ...

[Making Space @makingspacecoop]

Hai friends, we forgot to do a final Applications Are Closing reminder so board applications are still open until the end of July in the most slowest timezone (add 29hrs to this tweet's timestamp)!

If that's confusing, don't wait, just apply now!

A tiny reminder that board applications close on the 28th.

Please share the link with anyone you know can do awesome things with and for us, and encourage them to apply! You know they'll be great, we know they'll be great, tell them they'll be great!
