Not a lawyer but reproducing the entire letter from Próspera ZEDE is presumably a violation of their copyright.

I didn't know that. I figured linking to the tweet that posted it would be fine.

Providing the source doesn’t fix the (potential) copyright violation, if that’s what you’re suggesting.

We will update you on news, events, and do longer form write-ups […]

‘longer-form’

[…] on the projects discussed in the talks, […]

You mentioned the talks in the previous sentence. Remove “discussed in the talks” and instead say ‘discussed projects’ or ‘projects that were discussed’.

[…] as we now have many more news sources we didn’t yet know about.

Don’t explain yourself to your readers. Remove this part.
