Bounties: organizational brainstorm

Attendees: Jihad Esmail, John Szczepaniak, Scott Moore, Kris Decoodt

• Goal

  • Make it easy to get onboarded
  • Joe has created a typeform as a first step
  • Set up some ways so we can easily onboard people, not just for public goods funding but also other workstreams

• Questions

  • What is the best way to create a SSOT?

    • Maybe we need a number of people who 'streamline' and update one or multiple notion docs
    • Might become a 'passive' use doc for people that links all the active docs (hackmd, google docs…)
    • Hire some SSOT'ers to focus on streamlining

  • What is the audience? What is the scope?

    • Bounties on Gitcoin could become the funnel to make a selection & 'vet' people
    • Create an registry/repo of people
    • A contributors registry already exists (from Joe's typeform) - DAO contributors
    • Two ways done well (Jihad)
      • Only approved people
      • Bounties (low vs high risk)
        • low risk = multiple people can do them, not a big problem if done incorrectly, also allows people to scale up their participation. Feedback is provided and issues can be fixed with minimal urgency.
        • high risk = routine tasks that are critical and if done incorrectly, will slow down the overall pace of work. Less reliance on feedback and more on consistency of contributor.
          • Right now we don't have a formal contributor onboarding process. It doesn't make sense to clearly differentiate low vs high risk bounties as we haven't identified who will be providing feedback etc. We should just make a focused bounties list and start to expand from there. (Jihad)
          • Looking at the 3 tiered contribution rewards system that Forefront has implemented. (Jihad)

  • Proposal: start 'centralized'/subjectively to propose bounties to people we 'know/trust', while formalizing a process

  • Form: start with a notion board to collect all the bounties

  • Measure: decide how much the bounty is depending on the complexity

• Brainstorm: what can we create bounties for?

  • Internal facing

    • Commenting on specific proposals
    • Grant review/ratifications during grant round
    • Develop the onboarding process - designing a template
    • DAO Onboarding
      • DAO Onboarding channel & typeform exists now
      • Draft out the onboarding process from A-Z (!)
      • Host/assist to bi-weekly call with part of the community
      • Onboarding 1 on 1's can be next
    • High-level strategy docs
    • Actively attending & participating to certain calls
    • Defining rewards & how this is defined (+ transparent guidelines)
      • Baseline compensation that is reviewed every month
      • Coordinape to still reward people when no specific bounty!
    • Centralize some of the bounties under workstreams

  • External

    • Cross-pollination proposals with other DAOs (eg 1Hive, tokenswaps, …)
    • Fundraising for the grants rounds: talk to people & orgs who would want to fund the matching pools! (low-hanging fruit!)

• Action points

  • Set up a call in a few weeks for onboarding (Scott/Kris)
  • Check-in with Joe on SSOT docs (Scott)
  • Create initial bounty, 'cold call' matching fund partnerships (Scott)
  • Share docs on ForeFront (?) reward model & start working on own proposal to later sync on with Moonshot (Jihad)
  • All: review notes :)
