Following the new template requested, here is my weekly update:

Results:

  • OKRs: Transform Ourselves - Easy Onramp & Hack Awareness - Visible Guilds:

    1. Organized and hosted the first Open Web Sandbox party with ~50 attendees, which operated as the program’s relaunch. The Sandbox Discord server has ~1,000 members (a week before the party membership was ~600 members). Thanks again to the team and community for their support!
    2. Worked with the MarCom team (@shreyas @3UN1C3 @jcatnear in particular) to re-envision how the new Copper CRM will be used to facilitate team communications with anyone who applies to the Guilds Program, as well as discussed building work streams, custom tags, and custom fields for all members of the team as needed [all coming your way on Wednesday @Maggie!).
    3. Creatives DAO meetings: working with Abe of the Prison Art Project to develop supports for the pilot; discussions with Vandal from NxM talking Creative Guild Leader support. @chloe and I are planning on building out facilitator bounties/role bounties/set rewards to ensure these community leaders are fiscally supported themselves and also have more project support to address capacity problems.
    4. Group brainstorming and conversations around setting our team OKRs for Q3.

  • OKR: Boost Communities - Ship CommunityOS and $NEAR Distribution:

    1. Shipping the Creatives DAO, especially the new reporting procedure as we approach the end of the month and are going to be asking Guilds and DAOs to submit monthly budgets for July
    2. Shipping the installation of the new DAO verticals
    3. Ongoing edits to the Guilds Playbook but still on track for this playbook and Individual Contributors Playbook (@jlwaugh) to go live on Gitbook by the end of June
    4. Synced with @amosbestcookie [cc: Shreyas and Eunice] to align on planned changes to the Guilds rewards & incentives system and to share general updates and best practices.

Challenges & Blockers:

  • Time? Yeah, time. There’s not enough of it. This is my main challenge.
  • Seriously, determining who the NEAR Foundation Slack Admins are is my present blocker since we are looking to invite the Guild Minting Music into our #bonnaroo2021 channel to keep open communication between both teams.

Action Items:

  • Brainstorm and build a working proposal for the Minting Music - Bonnaroo collaboration with @chloe @Grace and other MarCom, DevRel, etc. team members by the end of the week.
  • Develop MarCom Q3 OKRs this week with the team (focusing on my ownership area of Community OS but also the support areas of Transformation, Guilds, Adoption, and Community Communications).
  • Work with @Sofia_Alum and @OrvardJam on the Open Web Sandbox Roadmap and arrange a presentation/discussion date with the MarCom team in the coming weeks @Grace @starpause @chloe @jlwaugh @ross @JMaenen @yadira @jake @shreyas @jcatnear @3UN1C3.
  • Guild Leader Introductions continue with @cypherpunk-core tomorrow.
