Thanks as always for posting these threads Eunice

I’m “focused” on:

• Structuring and helping with the launch of OWL (Open Web Labs) - early stage incubation program for Creators and Builders. (Createbase spin-off/sub-guild)
• Team sync and sharing priorities with other teams/guilds at NEAR Core
• 2x hiring processes for OWL/PM role and Tech Speaker Program
• Publishing JDs for unfilled role (seems like we can find talent faster than I can write JDs )
  • Hackathons Lead
  • Community DevRel
  • Guilds/Community Ops lead
• Working on a proposal for an Ecosystem Development Fund as a FoFs to support/grow our ecosystem and communities
• OWC teams mentorship, support with funding/investment
• Gitcoin partnership

• created guide for launching Sputnik DAOs
• discussed potential changes to Community Fund
• reviewed Rainbow Bridge upgradability and governance plan
• organizing DevRel Guild, a.k.a. Open Sourcery
• introduced SourceCred instance analyzing NEAR forum participation

Priorities for this week:

• collaborate on ideas to develop the first campaign / adventure
• create new GitHub issue listing TODOs re: DevRel Guild
• write forum post about NEAR governance and support Metagov research project involving both intrachain and interchain DAO interoperability

Question:

How can we (re-)design DAOs, DAO contracts, and DAO frameworks in order to support a family of use-cases around DAO interoperability and DAO-to-DAO interactions?

Conceptual Models for DAO2DAO Relations

[nima]

I think we should officially start the DAO Guild and perhaps have Josh as the coordinator/lead? (compensated position with 5-10 hrs/week commitment?)

Our DAO efforts could really benefit from some centralisation and coordination by a PM
