DevRel Weekly Update: 19-JAN-2021

Development Developer Relations
2

Priorities

  • Hiring
  • Simple examples: ACTUAL blockchain examples
  • Define the developer content audiences
  • Identify what content to write
  • EthDenver! (Deadline for prep: Feb 4th)
  • Identifying top projects
  • Redoing the grants evaluation/coordinator process for organizational speed.
  • Education: Kernal
  • Docs: onboarding easier, less-confusing, and less-convoluted
  • Developer channel management

Blockers
Team

  • Everyone having access to tools and admin

Matt

  • Intro calls are taking up a lot of DevRel time
  • Hiring for Wallet
  • Process stuff: not getting any feedback. Please provide adequate feedback/criticism.

Mally

  • Time
  • Hiring Marketing backfill

Dani

  • Bounties for other teams. Need 10-20.
  • Grants: Committee not compliant
  • Grants: Process is clunky

Progress UPDATED: 25-JAN-2021

  • Started GH Issues
  • Started Forum Posts and testing the waters with wider community
  • Vadim/Dorian hiring
  • Hiring Wallet replacement
  • Started boilerplate for simple app examples, clone and go, potentially get DevEx to borrow some of this work to update create-near-app (couldn’t wait). First uses: internal to crank out simple apps (beyond guest book examples) that are clone-able and run with a couple of commands.
  • Personas to be finished on Monday
  • Content strategy done 1/22 except where roadmap context still missing
  • Grants:
  • Core Contributors: New shop being onboarded. Bounties created for them to start work.
  • EthDenver: virtual booth, events and speakers in progress.

Resourcing

  • Matt - Part time on DevRel while wallet is transitioning.
  • Mally - Part time on DevRel while marketing is transitioning.

Thoughts

  • Forums: For early incubation stuff where you want feedback.
  • Github Issues: Super specific initiatives
