Seems to have been a bit of a quiet day.
Not a peep from Ned and the Steemit Inc crew to explain Ned's livestream no-show yesterday. Maybe he is going to make a surprise appearance at the first State of Steem Forum on MSP Waves on Thursday to make up... 😃
In the meantime 
Hive account@shadowspub held her first weekday Witness Chat which was well attended with a good bunch of witnesses pitching in. There was some excellent networking going on and lot of ideas being kicked around. Look out for the recording from Hive account@shadowspub shortly.
On Saturday 
Hive account@aggroed will be holding his monthly Witness Panel on MSP Waves. No details have been released yet of which witnesses will be attending but Hive account@aggroed usually fields a strong team.
On the token front 
Hive account@fulltimegeek has released A Cursory Overview of How Vaporchains Work.
Tomorrow we have the first State of Steem Forum on Thursday 8pm - 11pm UTC on MSP Waves.
The team behind the forums - 
Hive account@pennsif, 
Hive account@llfarms, 
Hive account@paulag, 
Hive account@teamhumble and 
Hive account@imacryptorick - have already managed to bring together a terrific group of steemians to give their views on the current issues.
