More than 30 members of the Cardano community in Japan helped create a stellar booth alongside informative materials, and three days’ worth of guest speakers covering a wide range of topics helping to educate visitors on Cardano’s ecosystem and its mission. In total, roughly 5000 visitors frequented the booth and received information regarding Cardano. This was also the first time that Cardano Foundation Community Manager Andrew Charalambous was able to meet the Japanese community in person now that restrictions have lifted, providing the Cardano Foundation with an invaluable chance to better understand the Japanese community and also learn valuable intel to help bolster support for them in the future. The expo was also topped off with a meetup at a local Japanese Izakaya **¹** to celebrate the success of the expo, featuring core members of the Cardano Community and Japanese Cardano Ambassadors. * * * # Below is an overview of some other recently held meetups. - 8 April 2022 Cardano South Florida MeetUp ([see Cardano Forum for a recap of the event](https://forum.cardano.org/t/recap-cardano-south-florida/101997)) - 23 April 2022 Cardano Houston MeetUp ([more detail on the Cardano Forum](https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-houston-meetup-recap-for-4-23-2022/101553)) - 17-18 May 2022 [IOG workshop on DApp audit & certification Barcelona](https://www.meetup.com/cardano-blockchain-barcelona/events/285692163/) - 24 May 2022 [NFT Guild - Weekly Call](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Catalyst-Community-Network/events/285696722/?rv=me2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDAwYjMzZTQyLThlY2MtNDFjNy04NjhkLTcwNWNjOWJiY2I0MA&_af=event&_af_eid=285696722) - 25 May 2022 [Cardano Philadelphia with Mostafa](https://www.meetup.com/cardano-philadelphia/events/283494848/) - 25 May 2022 [Washington DC Cardano Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Blockchain-DC-MD-VA/events/284186771/) - 25 May 2022 [Cardano4Climate - Climate Change: THE Challenge](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Catalyst-Community-Network/events/282299016/?rv=me2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDAwYjMzZTQyLThlY2MtNDFjNy04NjhkLTcwNWNjOWJiY2I0MA&_af=event&_af_eid=282299016) - 25 May 2022 [Catalyst Town Hall & After Town Hall](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Catalyst-Community-Network/events/282299017/?rv=me2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDAwYjMzZTQyLThlY2MtNDFjNy04NjhkLTcwNWNjOWJiY2I0MA&_af=event&_af_eid=282299017) - 26 May 2022 [LATAM Cardano Town Hall](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Catalyst-Community-Network/events/pdxztsydchbjc/?rv=me2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDAwYjMzZTQyLThlY2MtNDFjNy04NjhkLTcwNWNjOWJiY2I0MA&_af=event&_af_eid=pdxztsydchbjc) - 27 May 2022 [Africa - Town Hall](https://www.meetup.com/Cardano-Catalyst-Community-Network/events/zxfbvsydchbkc/?rv=me2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJGQzMjI5NDU5LTYxMmUtNDZiNS1iMDg3LWI4ZDkxNmMzZmVlMQ&_af=event&_af_eid=zxfbvsydchbkc) * * * # Upcoming Ecosystem Events ![highres_503718915](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/a/4/a4285ff968ee7d666001257bd4de00032a8f49ae.jpeg) The Cardano community is invited to join at Consensus.

As part of the new delegation strategy, the Cardano Foundation also examines what pools do while they have the delegation. Based on the findings 296 pools were chosen this round to receive an honorable mention and a shortlist of 73 pools for their outstanding contribution. > [See here the announcement posted on the Cardano forum.](https://forum.cardano.org/t/announcing-the-stake-pools-chosen-for-april-2022/99831) * * * # Proposed adjustment of minimum Pool Fees and K parameter During the March SPO call in Discord there were several proposals made by IOG to adjust the minimum pool fees, including the K parameter. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/b/2/b221998ed52efa34aa236a03732f307f13c0518f.png) Whilst this information is dated two months prior, we believe it is worth sharing because of the impact such changes could potentially have on the SPO community.

In this short update, we hear from the core architects, engineers, and key partners building the ecosystem. In this mid-month edition, there is a special chapter diving into Plutus by John Woods. Also a brief update from just a few of the 850+ projects now building on Cardano. Topics: - Update on network performance with John Woods - SPO upgrade to the latest version with Kevin Hammond - Scaling out the network - Vasil hard fork preview and release date - Cardano technical briefing: Plutus - Building On Cardano quick updates - re-connecting with community projects with Matthew Capps.

In this short format update, you’ll hear more about what developers can expect to see once the test net is released at the end of May, the latest status on network performance, diffusion pipelining, some requirements for SPOs, and more.
