### Open Floor / New Business

MC invited to do a workshop at [Chinwags](https://www.chinwags.xyz/)

## Scribe Notes

DAOhaus V3
- let's upgrade
- good time to upgrade on the DAOhaus side

MetaMedia Chili Pod
- pilot program with MetaGame
- partnering with DAO Research Collective
- Gitcoin connection via Yalor
- turning a research article into a playbook
- sharing audiences
- MetaGame has excited contributors
- intro team call is this Thursday
- what's the ecosystem impact?
- bring in more research focused audience into MetaGame and MetaCartel
- DAO Research Collective has very high quality content
- anyone want to add comments to the forum post
- Rika will update forum
- bring awareness to the project
- first step in partnership with DRC and MG
- turn research article into quest game
- automate updating content

DAOs@Denver
- maybe like punchbowl social?
- hosted by Tally
- MC would be a partner
- there's two for the same proposal cuz the first one was for xdai and will fail cuz there's not enough in the treasury
- Q is ready to put a proposal up on chain and CupOJoseph can collaborate or they can be two different proposals
- discussion about quadratic voting updates
- technically easier than socially
- does an attorney need to get involved over fair distribution of shares
- could the quadratic voting part be done with a shaman later, so that there's more time to decide?
- is it better to do the quadratic shares adjustment at the start of migrating to V3
- squaring shares - focus on separate from V3 upgrade for social
- quadratic's effect on incentives to participate
- survival vs dying

PizzaDAO
- partner with pizzarias
- is there a sponsor
- it's over a month old and doesn't have any sponsors
- mission is hard to understand
- are there relationships
- PizzaDAO sponsored first MCON and served pizza
- white label partnered pizzarias? b2b business?
- pizza is a public good, like hacking
- proposal written by a RG apprentice for his cohort project
- if MC sponsors a lunch - MC pizza box?
- pizza brought to you by MC
- pizza isn't a public good
- is calling it a public good disrespectful to the Tragedy of the Commons
- help organize meetups and can call the DAO to help
- you need pizza sometimes - it's a meme
- let's let them know that the grant would be easier to give if it was an event sponsorship, not ops
- the forum post is long
- collaboration is good, but this proposal isn't that collaboration

Infinity Keys
- Rika told Magic no cuz they received >$1M in funding
- similar to MetaGame
- would it teach people about Ethereum and best practices?
- asking for funds to build a gamefied version of asking for grants
- more of funding proposal for collaborations
- should do that anyway if they have $1M
- could better fit with a pod
- Yalor proposed to fund for a smaller amount to do something at EthDenver
- probably passing with a pod
- lets make sure they're not double dipping

What if MC got a grant from another org so MC can give out more grants?
- golum might want to give one
- no one is actively going out for grants
- https://notes.ethereum.org/@djrtwo/academic-grants-wishlist-2023
- https://esp.ethereum.foundation/academic-grants-2023
- Travis is looking at this for Pluraverse
- is there a collab with MC?
- form a academic pod
- collate and share members' knowledge

Chinwags
- small web3 retreat
- castle in Poland
- 3 days
- workshop heavy
- Rolf, Victor and Ven invited to talk for MC workshop as a partner
- and nominate people from other orgs
- Protocol Labs is facilitating and coordinating
- MC there to help drive outcome
- May 8-11
- timing is hard for Ven, but he'd help prepare a workshop
- good teams there, really professional
- $750 to partner
- 25 attendees
- 40 people total
- focused on DAOs specifically
- gonna check to see what is covered for workshop efforts
- MC has right of first refusal
- lets do something spicy
- TW knows who in Poland could make a chili man costume, but CupOJoseph already has one
