# Fellowship Retention H1 2024 The following is a summary of what I have individually do. Most of this overlaps between what Parity expects of me, and what I should do as a part of Polkadot fellowship. The only area where this does not apply, is responsibilities that are solely related to management within Parity, as I am leading the FRAME team within Parity. All of the members of this team are also part of the fellowship: Ankan, Goncalo Liam, Nikhil and Oliver. For the time being, I do not plan to claim my fellowship salary, given that most of my work for Polkadot is paid for by Parity. Should this change, I do see the possibility to claim my salary on an irregular basis, if this changes. ## Coding - RFC89 Flexible Inflation - omni-node - I have initially explored the engineering aspect and am now striving to increase awareness and integration about the project. - https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-parachain-omni-node-gathering-ideas-and-feedback/7823 ## Education - Teaching in PBA4 and PBA5 - Cleaning up Templates - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3155 - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3460 - Steps toward (re)documenting core components of FRAME/Substrate in [`polkadot-sdk-docs`](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/). - [OCW](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3463) - [Pallet Coupling](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3542) - [FRAME Origin](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3362) - [Custom RPC and Runtime API](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4654) - [Custom Host Functions](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4735/files) - [Logging in FRAME](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4768) ## Non Coding - Publicity - [Polkadot Build Horizon](https://x.com/kianenigma/status/1761736097128677585) - [JAM Sub0 Rewatch with PolytypeLabs](https://x.com/PolytopeLabs/status/1769016506354979298) - [TEACHMEDEFI Podcast](https://x.com/teachmedefi/status/1800834226092204454?s=46) - [JAM Q&A with OpenGuild](https://twitter.com/openguildwtf/status/1783842187291300123?t=LdAzFBD3faovATo_GmkWmw) - Wishlist Issues to gather user feedback - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3901 - https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3900 - Thanks to Joshua: https://github.com/joshuacheong/wishlist-tracker - Governance: Active for day to day chores/calls.
