I announced the deviantART Related Collaborations Contest about two months ago, and during the time it ran, received about twenty different, amazing entries! As every entry was in some way a collaboration between two or more people (and some entered more than once), that means about 35 people participated altogether. It was great to see so many people, often from different mediums and areas of the site come together to collaborate and create something together.

After the success of the chat event I held earlier this month, I decided it should become a monthly thing. Each monthly dA Related chat event will be held on the first Friday of each month. The first Friday of June happens to be on the 1st. Here's the details regarding the chat event this week.
Introduction
Welcome to the next installment of A Week in dA Related!
A Week in dA Related is a weekly news article series that aims to bring you the most important and fun deviantART and dA Related news from the previous week. It also includes a handful of features from the gallery that were submitted in the last 7 days.
If you have any deviantART Related news you'd like to share, shoot a note to ^ladygagz.
This issue covers May 14th to May 20th, 2012
From the Writer
First of all, I hope you all had a splendid week. There were some exciting new changes on dA this week. The one that most of you should be already aware of are username changes. The deviantART community as a whole seem to be split on whether it's beneficial to the community. I'd really love to hear what you think about it all.
Another major thing is our dA Related CV, $namenotrequired has taken over another gallery - Community Projects. While he is still looking over dA Related, it is now only temporary. This means that there is in fact a position available for dA Related, and I encourage you to apply if you think you'd be up for it. Read this blog for more information.
Discuss! 
What do you think of the username changes?
