# Raid Guild Round Table Notes: 7/29/2021

## Proposals & Members

- 🎉 Welcome to **Sazerac** 🎉

## Updates

- EthCC Recap
    - **Sasquatch** and **tae** represented the guild
    - Overall really good event — check out the Vitalik talk
    - tae representing DAOs
    - Raid Guild had name recognition at the conference (~2/5 times mentioned folks were aware of our name)
    - Rekt put out a physical newsletter about who have been hacked and who audited them

## Props

- ⚔️ We are doing official things with LARPy sounding names. ⚔️

## Raids, Raids, Raids!

**Potential Raids**

- *POAP* project — **tae** will be following up
- *SWCapital* — has a specific spec — more information coming soon (check the **#guild-member-chat** for the spec)

**Current Raids**

- *weeBid* consultation — **Bau**, **penguin**, and **Sasquatch** have done consultations
    - Their original intake form didn't have a lot of specifics — they're looking for someone to write a grant and do some project management work
- *DAOSquare* — **Brandon** been working with **tae** about this
    - May be more of a consultation/research project to help them get their DAO vision realized with their current contracts
    - Excalibur potential?
    - They have a front-end team but will likely need some help interfacing with DAO contracts

## Discussion Topics

- Potential RIP: Write up some security best practices for folks in the Guild — could then become a public good
    - Key safety — web3 and otherwise
    - Protecting .env and keys from any crawlers
    - Potentially curate some best practices from a variety of sources?
- Guild Solidity devs getting into reviewing or auditing?
    - Reputation risk is fairly asymmetric in the negative — positive is that there is a high demand for audits
- Cleric responsibility to handle anything in arbitration?
    - Clerics push these things across the finish line and manage the communication and updates
- Reach out to **Bau** if interested in being onboarded into [Opolis](https://opolis.co/)

## MCon

- Main event is 9/15 - 9/17 in Denver with Wyoming Hackathon the following week
- Figuring out sponsors and other details, but conference definitely happening!
- Raid Guild should try to add some resources — design work, dev work, etc.
    - Do what we can to make this a group effort
    - Build a static site?
- Potentially have a Raid Guild specific meetup during the event?
    - Raid Guild banner flag in the conference room!
    - **DamagedGoods** can possibly make smaller Raid Guild flags

## Token Talk

- **AaronS** — launch in home stretch!
- Next Monday: auction queue goes live — tokens will be distributed some time next week
- Marketing materials and primers are ready to go — look at the channel if you want to see the materials
- Have a final list for the token list — check the chat with the *Clean List* tab in the Google Sheet
    - This is the *final list* for distributions
- Major props to the team for pulling this together
- Do we want to create a TokenDAO within the Guild?
    - DAO within the Guild to manage the token
    - What would the tasks be for this?
        - Manage any problems that arise, field questions, manage alternate use cases and champion new initiatives
- Promotional support — help get the word out to our networks

## Season 2 Cohort

- **DamagedGoods** and **tae** working on this — likely pushing back 1 more week
- Do we require new members to go through the cohort? Does this risk holding up new members joining and onboarding?
    - Do we want to allow folks to be championed without going through the cohort program?
    - If someone gets championed directly they still should be part of the next cohort
- Champions should be supporting the folks they're championing
- If people end up not being a good fit we'd want to look at who champion'd them
- Cohort enables us to minimize risk — we want to avoid folks joining and not contributing
- Bringing people on without going through the cohort lacks a monitoring system — cohort folks join as a group and have some camaraderie
- Do we want to create standards for folks who are championed outside of a cohort? 30 day review process?
    - Need to complete a raid within 30 days to remain in the Guild
    - We should monitor the folks who need to go through the cohort — they can apply for the next coming cohort — champions should be responsible for helping shepherd folks through this
        - Champions as a sort of 'buddy system'
- We could use RAID token in this way — champions stake RAID on folks they champion
- Are newly championed/new members helping to move the Guild forward?
- If we do a buddy system, some of the older members should also be given an option to participate in this type of onboarding
- Would be helpful from group perspective if we come up with some projects and help facilitate the mentorship process
- Buddy system and similar initiatives can take time and energy, but if we have a staking mechanism this could also help potentially incentivize this process
