| 1 | +# ModVerse Weekly - Issue 11 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Introduction 📰 |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Welcome to Issue 11! |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +ModCon is less than one week away, and we've been crunching to land some extra |
| 8 | +features for `mojo v0.6.0` in preparation for the demos. The team is very |
| 9 | +excited to share what we've built! |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Due to overwhelming demand and selling out tickets, we decided to livestream the |
| 12 | +keynote so that everyone can enjoy the announcements together. The videos from |
| 13 | +the smaller lightning talks will be released to YouTube at a later date. Chat |
| 14 | +will be disabled on YouTube so make sure to join the Discord where everyone will |
| 15 | +be hanging out in the `#modcon` channel. |
