Catalyst Fund 10 Improvements Task Force Weekly Update
Week Ending Nov 18th
Right now, there is a "Catalyst Improvements f10 Task Force" convening regularly to make space for surfacing and addressing sensed issues in the PA/vPA ecosystem leading up to the start of Fund 10. This is experimental and broad in scope because we are developing this model, but we are actively addressing:
- Gather feedback and identify priority issues
- Turn feedback and issues into actionable items in a bounty workflow
- Propose changes to Catalyst process based on the identified priority issues
The most recent meeting of the taskforce addressed:
- Discussing and establishing standards for stewarding bounties in dework via a new "Bounty Manager" role.
- Looked at an example of a "Problem Statement Bounty" and discussed how these statements could be large or small, broken into smaller subtasks when too large, and overall used as a valuable step in "repo-ing" sensed issued as problem statements that could accrue input and background as they iterated toward understanding and possible solution statements.
- The meeting also made space to welcome several new participants and get to know eachother.
The work of the Task Force is coordinated using the Catalyst United discord and Dework (currently using the vPA WG space). The next meeting is scheduled here.
