EDU Team 10 JUNE 2022

Brief Summary

met with funding team to plan grants workflow moving forward
met with editor for tl;dr
started research for upcoming NYC workshop that I will host ~21st June re: NFT markets
Continuing EDU office hours
- helped community member, Lyudmil, draft a fast grant proposal to be technical support and host office hours when I'm unavailable.

Results

funding team will require us to handle more of the grant managing than we anticipated. Will need to strategize on that.
The tl;dr editor, Jordan will start on 13th June with Stablecoins and Dev Track episodes. He seems competent, and excited about the project.
Harshit, Shreyas, and Todd Murtha have been helpful in my NFT market R&D for the upcoming workshop
Lyudmil has a great grant proposal focused on optimizing technical support in the NU server along with gathering data that will hopefully help surface insights about the community

Challenges & Blockers

Imporvements made in grants flow, but Funding team needs us to onboard to their current contract management solution. We should focus on content of grants; not mechanics of grants management.
Post production will take time to tweak.
Need to add timestamps to scripts to help Jordan with graphics placement.
I'm trying to be more active in my local NEAR community, but it's difficult to set boundaries on my time, while also being more open to community opportunities.
Lyudmil is a good guy, but with a lack of formal training as a technical support member, it will be difficult to manage his progress.

Action Items

meet with EDU grants team about ways we can spread the management of our grants.
experiment with several different approaches for converting tl;dr scripts into edit scripts. Have four scripts ready by Monday
research NFT space, and work with team members to create a great presentation that reflects EDU mission and values
