Here is the podcast I did with Joe a few months back.
Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast with Jim Rutt

Congratulations to the Regen Network Validator community for successfully completing the kontraŭa ComsWasm Testnet. We are especially grateful to Ethan Frey and Simon Warta of the CosmWasm team for their contributions to our community.
Here are some quick stats about the testnet.
78 validators took part
7 people attempted phase five’s custom eco state contract.
2 people submitted real world oracle addresses (Paul and Willl!) gong above and beyond!
A total of 143 PRs were received for the challenges.

We will be publishing a full postmortem and updating scores from this testnet next week.

The next and most likely final testnet for Regen Network prior to main net launch will start in June, after the conclusion of GoZ.

Hello Regenerates! It is Wed, 4:38 UTC time, just 22 min from our usual community validator call. It is canceled. We are going to take a pause on our biweekly community dev calls. All the lead validators are hard at work on Game of Zones.

1 - Points are being calculated for the CosmWasm testnet, stay tuned for this and our postmortem.

2 - We're at work running GoZ, stay tuned for updates

3 - Testnet will stay up for now, in case people want to run tests, keep working with warm contracts etc.

4- We will have the community dev call as scheduled net week which will provide an overview of all of regen network development inc’s progress on cosmos SDK, Regen Ledger and our go to market strategy. Please tune in if you’d like.

Attention Regeneratti: Thank you to the 78 validators who participated in our recent testnet. As promised here is the link to our retrospective about the testnet, including a link to the leaderboard and distribution of points and tokens so far: https://medium.com/regen-network/postmortem-of-cosmwasm-kontra%C5%ADa-testnet-d4802dc6d098

We’re hiring a new position for a geospatial Science and environmental data position!
