Husker.ethInner Igloo Jan 1, 2023
Miss out on the Pudgy Penguins’ Inner Igloo today? No worries, here are the notes from the meeting. Luca started by congratulating the community on the new ATH for the collection.

Yesterday’s AMA was hot fire as Actual Agents took questions from the community and Luca gave answers.
@lou17mar asked What can the huddle do in September to help the team?
Reinforce the team's message. The formula is team delivers/executes and the huddle pushes to the masses, keep supporting the huddle, lead by example, have fun, help fellow penguins, submit gifs.
Is Hasbulla the superstar?
No
Who is the superstar and when will we find out?
Keep guessing and having fun with it, eventually, it will be revealed but not now.
Will we be able to get custom penguin products (toys)?
Action figure toys are coming and you’ll be able to pull on/off traits similar to a Mr. Potatohead.
@LucaNetz said the Advisory board has been together since the team took over back in April
How will the licensing deals break out Big/Lil?
It depends. The bigs will be the majority, but no set number right now, rough estimate given by Luca was 75/25 split between Bigs/Lils. Big Pudgies brand awareness needs to improve prior to team shifting focus to Lils. Currently of the 21 person team, 19 are working on Pudgy Penguins and 2 are working on Lil Pudgies
Who should people chat with on the team?
You can dm Luca, but give a recap of the proposal, and he’ll forward you to the correct department.
What’s going on with the rogs?
6-8 devs have been hired that are also pudgy holders. Those devs will be working on the rogs’ utility.
Any thoughts on how SBTs are sent out about cold wallets?
The team is conscious of the SBTs going to a cold vs hot wallet causing community members to move penguins or the SBT going to a wallet the member may not prefer. The team has some solutions in mind and they'll cross that bridge when they get there.
Luca said the primary utility of the SBT is yet to be revealed and more SBTs are coming, covering a variety of areas.
If someone wrote a story for their Pudgy Penguin, can it be submitted for consideration for inclusion in the book?
Yes, talk to one of the team members.
@The_Bogfather has made test mochi donuts. He thinks making restaurants is the primary way to onboard people to web3. He thinks this could be funded and run by the community, with help from the team. Luca is supportive and wants to roll it out at Art Basel.
@Petroo_mm asked about any plans in the future for a European meetup?
Luca says yes, but a few other things need to come first.
Next IRL is token2049 in Singapore.
How can people work with Pudgy Penguins?
You can view the open jobs and apply at pudgypenguins.com/jobs. If you're a penguin, and a dev, feel free to DM @LorenzoMel_ directly to get acquainted.
Does how much a person had turned in their Penguin into a brand identity play into who gets selected for licensing deals?
It did play in a small amount (Such as Joey Moose's Penguin), but the criteria were aesthetics, the difficulty of manufacturing, and ensuring a diverse pool of traits.
@LorenzoMel_ says metadata for Pudgys and Lils will be more dynamic to be able to add data from various points, the first point being the licensing deals.
Can Pudgy Rog claims be reopened?
It’s possible, but community feedback made it seem like the play is to keep it as is.
How does the team handle licensing where penguins are basically the same minus the background color?
The team is looking at solutions from the community, but right now it seems to be tied to metadata. The team is open to hearing the community's input.
Instagram/Facebook integration? No real way for collections to integrate with their new NFT feature. Right now, that feature is user driven. @LucaNetz is having a call with @J_Sterl this week.
@le_tl0tl0 asks what is Pudgy Penguins doing to help secure Web3
@TheChild1996 is taking lead, and the team could do a better job of promoting the work he is doing to educate community members.
@Elocremarc had the idea of an animated short video hitting the subject's heart.
