- Will take a look at this during the Prisma migrations as well to see if there is an option on the Prisma CLI that'll grant `read` to any user with access

**JP**

- can't replicat5e that staging bug (double create DAO with unique constraint) for create DAO.
- if you leave a DAO it doesn't show up in the dropdown. it's interfering due to the `left` status.
- join is create and left is update so we gotta break that tix out.
- maybe there is an upsert call we can use (filtering logic)
- sounds like blocking empty states but leverage the create/update and write upsert hook
-
- wrapping up QA mega thread
- handle the frontend logic for the upsert

**Tim**

- PR up for adding the Gitbook
- Made a ticket for identifying items on the Roadmap from DeGodsNFT Tweet (https://linear.app/govrn/issue/GOV-441/degods-nft-leaks-our-roadmap)
- There is some solid feedback in the thread, so Tim added this to a Linear ticket
- Product Discovery session later today to go through tickets and jam on these (working out loud, folks are welcome to come jam)
- Goal is to move things through the stages
- Pairing with JP on components and moving toward alignment between Frontend and Figma
- Opportunity to pair with Flip and CBCE (and whoever else) about Kevin Malone roadmap and ideas

**Keating**

- Started working on the Retool for the *DAO Filtered Dashboard* project
- What's the timeline for this?
- Aiming to knock out a few of the Batch 1 queries each day
- Talk with Lara and Aaron about the timeline
- Working on this over next few days
- PR review

## 2-28-23

any questions, blockers, pairs

**Keating**

- Sorry to miss QA, did some on my own and noticed that we need to modify Kevin. So we can add the `/left` thing to Kevin.
- if you leave it shows your `guilduser` still existing. edge case but still.
- I know the PR's are oustanding but we want to finish this release to avoid any side effect bugs.
- Want to pair on verification frameworks before thursday.

**TB**

- Refining specs in the backlog
- Make a loom for using the product template
- Sync w JP for FE concerns :-)
- Request from Keating: sync w christine to start ticketing verification frameworks

**Flip**

- Working on NATS infrastructure with CSV uploads as the first use case. so DAO memberhsips for an example
- ran into some issues, will reset, and move on.
- there is a Kevin bug but happy to pick up more.
- moving forward we have to have consensus about kevin
- Maybe quick check in with uploader so we can wire it up to the frontend modal.
- two items after the enqueing job is finished.
- first backend needs to accept CSV then we can wire it up same with guild.
- NATS is the infra to accept these. go NATS
- Datadog with kubernetes much stuff

**Amrro**
- Taxonomy grooming dropdown improvements

**Jp**
- Empty st8s: various in review, PR. Contributions are the last remaining category in progress
- Need to chat with tim quickly about user dashboards
- No blockers
- Pair opportunity with Ammro
- Feeling great, spicy, feeling himself, in his lane, flourishing

## 2/23/23

**amrro**
- added a leave button, confrimation dialogue for leaving DAO
- status becomes `left`
- made custom resolver to list guilds, so we can filter membership status. this cancels pagination on the query variables.
- another clause in the `where` maybe instead? prisma has a field support....thing
- possible to pair on this thing.

**flip**
- CSV consumer, mapping logic. seperate ticket for hooking things up.
- utils should be useable in the guild PR
- more comments on the ticket eng 695
- yesterday hooked up datadog into kubernetes
- set up things to mke dashboards and instances

**JP**
- a few questions on open ticket for dashbaord
- pair opportunity to check on that
- rest of tickets moving along

**Keating**
- made some PR's to fix global logger so it doesn't send toasts
- second is the date of engagement table title. was assigning the wrong value, we'll have to backfill with a script.
- merged in the CTA component and join flow stuff for bot
- few changes thanks to Flip
- should be good to lump staging into attestation station tomorrow. merge monday.

**Tim**

- user testing progress thank TF christ

## 2/21/23 🦄 🦬

**JP**

- hella empty states.
- 954 compnent is done, used on contributions for staged and minted. two callouts on some tickets for extra feedback.
- 959 is hard to reproduce as it's an edge case.

**Keating**

- worked on QA for join flow release. it is in the wild!!
- reviewing the open PR's
- 422 needs a second set of eyes
- onboarded flip into the backend tasks for datadog and NATs
