Hi everyone,
It’s been a busy couple of weeks! As I’m sure everyone has seen by now, @kent and his team shipped the alpha version of the HoS frontend a week ago (see previous message). If you haven’t had a chance yet, I encourage you to help us test it out! You can report bugs and issues using the “Report bugs & feedback” link at the bottom right corner, and you can use the public roadmap Kent linked above to submit ideas, feature requests, etc. Shoutout to Kent & co. for already incorporating and shipping a number of feature requests, including support for more wallets!
What follows is a brief personal update, as previously promised on the part of the core team.
Note: you can see my work in a different format on the Core Team Kanban. Here’s a link that’s filtered on my username:
- My primary task these past couple of weeks has been project managing the launch. This includes coordinating work among NF (esp. Finance and Marketing teams), Gauntlet, Agora, Hack Humanity, FastNear, and other ecosystem stakeholders. In addition to the Kanban, you can also track progress in this public dashboard. This included daily preparatory standup calls last week.
- I also spent quite a bit of time improving transparency and project management for the Core team, including setting up the Kanban and launch dashboard, and authoring this post on my philosophy for working in public and why it’s so important that we do so. I spent some time teaching my team how to use Github effectively for project management.
- I authored a draft blog post announcing the launch. Thank you to the others who have contributed. I also authored a comprehensive marketing brief for the NF marketing team (not public). I also reviewed the content on the houseofstake.org website prior to launch and helped with the launch (although Klaus and his team get 99% of the credit for this!).
- I worked with Bianca to get the Head of Governance role listed on the NF careers page and began reviewing the inbound applications.
- I prepared House of Stake updates for NFC (internal) and for the Ecosystem Collab. call today.
- I finalized and announced the composition of the interim Screening Committee, and of the Security Council. I reviewed draft charters on these and other topics from Gauntlet.
- I worked with Gauntlet and Agora to finalize the parameters for the HoS 1.0 launch.
- I created an updated HoS budget for NF (internal) and began the process of review and approval internally.
- I helped review and finalize the legal terms & conditions for the HoS frontend and houseofstake.org website.
- I generally did my best to stay active and up to date on multiple communication forums, including Telegram and this forum, although I am admittedly somewhat behind on this forum. I’ll continue working on getting caught up.
That’s all for me, for now! More soon.
