Agenda
- Announcements
- New Season!!
- Let’s put the fun back in fungible
- Hiro is ready to spend more time focusing here
- New member intro:
- Welcome Coordinators!
- bDIP-07: Go vote!
- Time change for Guild meeting - push back or move forward? (could be better in the evening? 5pm UTC? - Bruvton) >> short poll will go up (48-72 hrs)
- Book of the Season - bringing back the reason a lot of us got into writing, books
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (chosen for its reminder on the core element of quality)
- https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Art-Motorcycle-Maintenance-Inquiry/dp/0060839872/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
- Great book to use as a point of discussion for our goals etc, if you cannot purchase it please let Hiro know, can try to work something out for you
- Will use writer’s playground channel to discuss it
- RPGF funding
- https://gov.optimism.io/t/education-nominations-for-rpgf2/4640/132?u=hirokennelly (Applied for retroactive public funding for optimism - accepted)
- No consensus yet on how it will be distributed
- We have struggled to get sponsorships in the bear market, the question is always how do we navigate this - thinking to go straight to the ecosystems may be the way to go
- WG Cohort 3!
- March 22 Kickoff Meeting
- Going to try for GC funding first (for 1/2 of the required funds)
- but we still need to pay for S6 too out of our budget
- 500 stables
- 42K BANK
- Grant: Excited for new cohort, working on experience improvement, make it cleaner, simpler
- We have an impressive email list of interested folks from previous expressions of interest, find ways to bring them back in
- Ensure that there are true quantifiable results from cohort - create deeper DAO relationships, reignite writing passion
- Take advantage of the content created within the cohort - work with Bankless publishing
- CryptoNexus writing opportunities - Hiro to talk to Bo* again to pick the convo up, perhaps provide opportunities for community
- Web3 toolkit update - some toolkit topics still need writers, some have not submitted yet, CoolCat will nudge them
- Guild Updates
- Talent Office (anointingthompson1): 5pm UTC tomorrow talent coordination meeting
- Treasurer (Austin Foss): Payouts going out at end of the month, will follow up on notion changes, potential governance proposal - some people are not on payments list either because addresses are missing/not submitted, can there be a timer on how long people have to submit them or how many reminders they can receive before they are simply removed?
- Governance Coordinator (CoolCat): Currently utc+7 for the next few weeks, suggesting broad structure for governance async - requires a secure structure
d. Education Coordinator (tomahawk): No time changes for live editing sessions
e. Marketing Coordinator (WinVerse): Looking to do more twitter spaces, plan is to have them be on the most recently published articles; in talks with potential sponsor for weekly rollup newsletter, looking to sponsor ama’s & drive traction towards their brand
f. Notion Admin (Trewkat): No new updates; reminder to do the notion ninja course, make sure your notion name matches your discord name
- Project Updates
- Newsletter:
- Jake and Austin shipped DeFi Download last week
- this week it’s back to the:
- BP Recap today
- DA Tomorrow
- SoD Wed

Suggesting payments be done for work done versus just holding the role
Paulito - suggesting that Coolcat setup a poll for people to know when most would be able to connect, allow her to navigate the async structure
