## [EOS Silicon Valley](eossv.io) - East meet West Series # EOS Cannon: In EOS We Trust Cannon
EOS already has one of the best blockchain communities in the world if not the best! We have achieved tremendous things together through great technology, leading governance, and a world-class international community. An amazing international community is difficult to build due to different geographical locations, cultures, political point of views and time zones. Although incredibly challenging it's been extremely beneficial to have had early success in creating such a diverse community. The differing viewpoints, locations, talents, and experiences the global community brings form the decentralization strength of the ecosystem. Collective strength that aids network security, ideation, decision making and overall trust in the network. At EOS Silicon Valley we are an international team from different cultural, working and educational backgrounds. This provides a unique opportunity for us to foster and improve the communications across the world. With that in mind, we are officially launching the East meet West Series as our effort in building the world EOS community. It is one step from us that we believe can inspire other individuals and teams in the community to get to know each other better and prosper. Here is the first blog of this series, this one from EOS Cannon.
