We’re just sitting here, waiting for stuff to break.* Changelog & App News *Host features* Hosts are organizations who act as fiscal sponsors for collectives. They receive funds, manage payouts, and take care of bookkeeping. We've been working on features to take better care of them, like a better flow for paying expenses. *Edit username * Logged in users can now edit your username (and therefore the url of your profile). *Tell us your email preferences* Let us know if you want to be emailed when your collective receives a new donation or expense. We are very mindful of everyone’s inbox, so we don’t do this by default. *Did you know...* You can send updates to your backers by emailing *backers(a)collective.opencollective.com &lt;backers(a)collective.opencollective.com&gt; *(replace 'collective' with your collective's name). *We'd love to hear from you. Stay in touch! — the Open Collective Team* *PS: Looking for your monthly stats report? We've started sending that separately from the newsletter. If you don't get it soon just let us know.* <http://opencollective.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88fc8f0f3b646152f1cfe447a&id=0cc610f66b&e=4798296923> <http://opencollective.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88fc8f0f3b646152f1cfe447a&id=4ee0d9107a&e=4798296923> <http://opencollective.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88fc8f0f3b646152f1cfe447a&id=25193508da&e=4798296923> *Copyright © 2017 Open Collective, All rights reserved.* You received this email because you've expressed interest in updates from Open Collective. *Our mailing address is:* Open Collective 340 S LEMON AVE #3717 Walnut, CA 91789 Add us to your address book <http://opencollective.us12.list-manage.com/vcard?u=88fc8f0f3b646152f1cfe447a&id=c44469099e> Want to change how you receive these emails?
