With much sadness we learnt that one of the Dutch Enlightened Lions and Wolves of Belgium, Agent @Fordrax (Jari), passed away in night from 29 to 30 November at the age of 31.

He was an extraordinary Agent who played almost exclusively on foot. He participated in numerous events from Operations to Anomalies. He was always willing to help locally, nationally and internationally.

He will be missed by both the Dutch Lions and the Wolves of Belgium.

The funeral will take place coming Friday, 4 December. In his honour, let's light a beacon at noon CET on that day.

Lets keep his motto alive: "Keep it green."

Rust in vrede vriend!

For the 8th anniversary of Ingress, Agent @d0gboy decided to take a look at the early history of the subreddit (which was created on release date, 11/15/12). He used reddit's API to pull down posts from 11/15-12/31 and then sifted through them for interesting posts.
Amazing job, Agent!

Operation "Austin we have a problem!" took flight December 27 2020 In Austin Texas USA. 16 agents created loads of green fields for the 5pm checkpoint. With 29M MUs these Agents certainly finished the year in true Enlightened fashion. Great job Agents.
This month is the first ever Humanitarian Ingress First Saturday in Croatia.

As you may know, a strong earthquake has hit Petrinja, Glina and Sisak 2 days before New Year's Eve. Help is needed for volunteers from Croatian Red Cross to keep providing services to people that lost their homes.

Many of the destroyed houses belong to small family farms and people just can't leave their ruined homes, so now they are living in housing containers.

How can the Ingress community help?
You can now donate money directly. Croatians and Europeans have sent clothes, food and other first-minute necessities and there is no immediate need for aid in food and clothes. Money is needed for repairs as volunteers and many companies are working for free, building materials still have to be bought.

As an option, one of the organizers, @mrki008 has chosen the portal cinipravustvar that is a crowd donation platform that does not charge any fees - you donate 75 kuna (10 eur) and it goes directly to Red Cross Croatia. No credit card fees or SWIFT banking cost - those are covered by platform!

A New Ingress Year is here, Frogs. Let’s play

Due to the ongoing pandemic many of us are experiencing difficult times. Many agents are playing under severely restricted circumstances and official events are currently on hold.

In the spirit of the Enlightened Community 🐸 and the joy of global co-creation and collaboration, we – a group of Swedish frogs - have put together a banner project called The Frog Wall, and are inviting Enlightened Agents from all over the world to join in.

Let’s all make the best of the lock-down by sharing our creativity, and design an endless banner as a team, while we look forward to completing when it’s possible to explore the outside more freely, in our hometowns and beyond.

In a nutshell:
• To be part of the global banner project, every ENL agent that wishes to join will create a local Frog Wall banner, representing their own community/village/city.
• To create the Frog Wall banner image, you will use a seamless green brick wall background image that will be provided, and then add any design of choice that reflects your community or location.
• Since the brick wall image is seamless, Frog Wall images/banners from every location can be stitched together in any order that you find them, resulting in your own, unique banner in your profile.

Come join us! Learn more and get started through our chat Frog the Wall
NB. ENL only & Enlightened Rocks verification required!

Current live Frog Wall missions can be found through searching for “Frog Wall” at Mosaik

Enjoy and please help us with sharing the message! 💚🐸💚
