📝 Notes

Action items review

  • nagma created a public DAO calendar with all DAO/Projects meetings
  • codingwithmanny deploying Discourse tests to DO & AWS
  • Onboarding improvement on-going, initial change from marc getting confirmation of server rules and sharing basic instructions
  • Had informal chat about Governance, overall consensus was most important is tracking/rewarding contributions and that we should move slow with DAOstack
  • Repo created for organising learning resources here - NEED VOLUNTEERS
  • Noah couldn't make meeting. Sanidipan has some options for events however thought organisations needs to improve before we start bringing outsiders in.
  • nagma has rolled-out event bot for event calendar and start reminders
    • #events channel on Discord

Project Updates

Website

  • All moving along nicely, lots of people contributing and working well.
  • Will continue with weekly meeting on Thursday at 7pm UTC as productive
  • Bit early to rethink branding whilst we're still figuring out fundemtal points re the DAO: mission/values etc.. Double back on this then
  • Site as DAO documentation
    • Community projects
    • How to get more involved
    • What the DAO is, etc.
  • Need for a project
    • Something to work towards as a collective
    • Unifying purpose

      • helps contributors find the roles they're most passionate about
      • learn to work together

pixel-avatars

  • update from goldzulu
    • Smart contract POC running on rinkeby, only accepting mits from genesis NFT owners
    • using IPFS to link to smart contract
    • shoutout to rasmuscnielsen for creating the app that allows switching between various traits
    • waiting on assets to finalize to make more progress
    • need better organization of work and direction
    • Need to start thinking about marketing soon if we want the launch to be successul, hope was mid-october. Opportunities for getting the message out fast with community but need to oragnise to make that happen.
  • eknobl almost finished with designs, two more trait to tackle

Discourse

  • Rejected from their free tier for open souce
  • codingwithmanny looking into AWS + Digital Ocean deploy options this weekend

Discussion

  • How do we want to run these town hall meetings moving forward?

    • What schedule?
      • gjsyme proposed going with fortnight schedule
      • will do a public vote to decide
    • Should they be public?
      • with-heart: maybe use Discord Stages?
      • willblackburn.eth: probably not worth making public yet since the project is still so early
    • What do other DAOs do with their town halls?
      • Information about the DAO, how to get more involved, ongoing projects, etc.

  • Community talks (0xJof)

    • 15-30 minute presentations to the community
    • with-heart: producing content for ourselves makes the community stronger and demonstrates value of membership
    • Talks from community members, outside advocates, etc.
    • Sandipan: would be better to wait for more organizational maturity but great idea long-term
    • Events for adding value in the community and creating an external brand which encourages pepole to want to join the DAO/helps get the name out there. Discussed both bring in external contributors and people from the community giving a regular presentations.

  • nader update

    • Planning to be more involved in the community and helping set things up
    • His plan when he created Developer DAO
      • Loves to teach, created a coding school previously
      • Wants to help push forward people in their careers
      • Share equity, grown the community, etc.
      • This translates really well to DAO structures
    • Create a setup whereby if real value is created, those who contribute to creating that value should ideally be able to realise that value in the form of liquid ownership via a token.
    • Met with Jess https://twitter.com/thattallguy, member of SeedClub https://twitter.com/seedclubhq
      • DAO for helping/investing in other DAOs
      • SeedClub has seed rounds/cohorts where they use experience to help DAOs create get setup effectively
        • Setting up governance
        • How to create tokens and reward users
        • How to generate and distribute liquidity
        • SeedClub is essentially a group of experts that can help us figure out where we're going and how to
      • codingwithmanny: What does SeedClub get out of it?
        • Small share of DAO token issue. Like a VC in start-ups, they're taking bets on DAO and building eqauity in several projects (not voting rights)
        • $FWB treasury allots tokens that provide value but don't provide responsibility, voting rights, etc.
      • Is possible longer term to bring in other outside VCs to help provide liquidity
      • Financial rewards for DAO contributors
        • Launching an ERC-20 token to reward those that have been doing work
      • Willing to put his own money as an investment to support community

  • Establishing the Developer DAO brand

    • Marketing ourselves to other devs
    • Developer DAO event/conference
      • Content centered around Developer DAO
      • Get people to give presentations they'd normally give at a conference
      • 30 minute roundtable where we discuss the DAO
    • Providing content, etc. that demonstrates our value publicly
    • Twitter Spaces
      • Discussion about Developer DAO or discussions centered around specific topic hosted by Developer DAO members
    • mirror.xyz for writing/sharing content (eknobl)
      • nader will help us get that set up
      • need to know more generally about it

  • How can we recognize early contributions and reward people? (kempsterrrr)

    • Reward now even if it's not valuable until later
    • nader: consistency is important
      • community members leaning in to keep interactions/discussions going
      • our community is already a lot bigger and more active than other projects that have been funded
      • Most of his career has been sharing knowledge/teaching, DAO model really suitable for taking this a step further as a community to create value that has a real impact on peoples lives and careers.

  • Developer DAO provides acceleration and growth for individuals (goldzulu)

    • Membership provides networking, resources, etc. to help become the best developer possible
    • The best asset of Developer DAO is learning

  • What was nader thinking in relation to ERC-20 token ($dbucks)? (goldzulu)

    • Meme name because Fortnite uses dbucks
    • To distribute, contract would take snapshot of ERC-721 owners
      • If owner possesses a token, can call smart contract for distribution of ERC-20 tokens
    • $DBUCKS as DAO token for ownership +/or voting rotes, distributed based on contributions and/or roles. Need either someone in the communtiy with this knowledge or ask for advice from outsiders.

  • DAO should have a constant stream of content (marc)

    • Need to broadcast success, progress, etc.
    • Desire to gain access to social channels so we can start using them to promote work happening in the DAO more

  • How do we get things moving

    • Clarity on our values/mission/goals for the community.
    • Consistency/cadence in what we're doing that provides structure to allow us to progress.
    • Need a core team of contributors who are happy invest time in getting things moving
    • Potentially seek partnership with SeedClub, take their support for establishing and growing the DAO in exchange for % of token allocation. It would be great if we can do this ourselves however it might be better to embrace support from people who are experts at doing this. Could help us accelerate things forward. Nader to continue this conversation/found out more about how their program works.

  • Practicalities of moving forward
