# neume x music-os weekly 2022-10-26

## Agenda

### Reoccurring

- (treasurer): report on financials (e.g run way, burn rate)
    - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dHkA0EJZjvAcFx3fQybAsQnVu2Nm_Ia84JIREbOl-DI/edit?usp=sharing
    - Getting close to max burn rate, not an issue yet but noting that dan is tracking closely
- (governance & BD): report on social architecture
    - neuIP-3
    - Docs & On-boarding
        - Good inspiration: https://beta.reactjs.org
        - Piérre: Document Neume Exploration
    - Catalog
- (tech lead + neume): report on tech progress
  - (tim) Update on neume tech (Sound Protocol & Ownership history)
      - Sound Protocl included now, seems to be working
      - Full node is working again
      - Ownership
          - Can quickly do it and bring in ownership through the music accumalator strategy (brings in technical debt)
          - Going to face a challenge with identifying what a song is and then the ownership history
          - Getting the minter is the first logical step, getting the artist address is more difficult; the only platform where the artist is defined in the metadata is catalog v2
          - This is an issue that we knew going in, however, getting the minting address is still likely useful as a first step
              - Once that is done we can raise attention to the issue and seek to force change, possibly by including the field
          - At an application level there could be an assumption that the address that is paid out to is an artist, but that shouldn't be assumed at the neume level (remain unopinionated)
- (tech lead + music-os): report on tech progress
    - Implemented Sound Protocol support
        - Strapi
        - Frontend / Backend: Added support for Arweave
        - Transcoder: Added support for Arweave
    - Added artist name to neume Sound Protocol Strategy
    - Wrapping up full support for Sound Editions (collapse editions into a single track attribute)
    - Working on sugar-coating owner property on our side

### Specific items

- (tim) neume website branding/marketing and building a public mental model
- (tim) Value-based requirements of music-os (e.g. decentralization, permanence, alegality) in relation to Vaughn's recent post
- (dan) Proposal to delineate the neume workstreams, for budgeting and also to have greater visibility on what people are working on

## Actionables

- (dan&tim): Raise issue to Catalog/community to add an `artist.address` metadata field in Catalog music NFT schema. Potentially follow it up with a blog post later.
- (tim) Add `artist.address` for Catalog V2
- (tim) think about whether a song is a first class citizen in neume and whether that's an issue
- (tim&pierre): Have different views in /data repository for output of neume output
- (pierre): Continue on neume website branding PR
- (tim&dan): spend more time with Jade to improve branding & marketing of neume
- (tim&dan) set up extra governance call on: 
  - "(tim) Value-based requirements of music-os (e.g. decentralization, permanence, alegality) in relation to Vaughn's recent post"
- (dan): Delineate the neume workstreams for budgeting and add to neume-network/documents
