| | | | Hi, February Happy Black History Month! We’re officially in February, folks, the second month of the year. At Technical.ly, we’re discussing what “local” means now. The rise of remote work, the digital world becoming increasingly as important as the physical (and maybe even replacing it if you believe the hype of Web3 and the metaverse) — what does it all mean? See our explainer on this month's editorial calendar theme. All that is to say, what does “local” mean to you? What is working in your tech community? Do headquarters matter anymore? We want to hear your thoughts. Reply directly to this email, or you can join us over on the Technical.ly community on Slack and chat there.
