2. Strategic Meeting
1.0 POC Updates
1.1 Tech
- Added Discord field to the sign up form, name fixed
- Brent put together user stories (please look at them: it’s the product definition). Gave user names to identify them
- user stories:
- Paolo: checked the Snapshot platform before sharing it with the students: all working
1.2 Learning program Updates
- The calendar has been changed again. Paolo will run session 2 tomorrow at a delayed time (woohooo), while we’ll start with Brent’s sessions and eventually Fintan’s ones next week
- The learning material for all the sessions is ready
- Brent will do Period 5 (1.23 pm PST), Fintan will do Period 6 (2.18 PST)
1.3 Funding
- Ethereum rejected us
- Paolo checked the new links but we don’t really fit in, and the few ones where we do give away very little money
- Can we put software things in the fund request? Best way: we’re going to create a platform that is a training system for all their employees with a final NFT mint that proves the training
- Fabs suggest to put focus on the EU Funding
- Post POC: we could reach out to Metamask, Optimism
1.4 Blockers
- Dr. Dam changing the calendar all the time
- Adding Ricardo as a founder?
- Decision: no one opposes having him as a founedr but the decision is postponed for a few months
2.0 Post POC
2.1 UnionDAO
- Fabs offered a Core Team position to Spectra to take care of the Union side (updated to the next week)
2.2 RefugeeDAO
3.0 Product development
- Analysis of the user stories
- We’ll work on this offsynch
4.0 Road map updates:
4.1 Interviewing with refugees
- Focus more on funding rather than anything else
4.2 Legal
- If we want to get EU funding we need to have an entity in Europe. We need to identify a country and decide on its set up. Ireland could be a good choice, though we need to have directors on the ground
4.3 Provisional budget & operations
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SVNOMbwU9igFRFc3Gz6XfxFKj_g6psgaBYPPjNKXlus/edit?usp=sharing
- Double bonus for Paolo on all the funds coming in next week
- Operations: over the next month we need contribution from everybody to figure out how to apply
4.4 Landing page — https://uniting.us
- Everything is ready and working
- Fabs is planning to create a new page for the RefugeeDAO over the next few days
- Should take a decision on the logo
4.5 Proposal writing after ETH Foundation
4.6 Social Media
- Corporate vs. Customer acquisition
- Corporate: twitter
- Customer acquisition: linkedin
- Discuss: let’s see where we’re going with the Refugee thing. Fintan happy to take on Social Media.
- Social media could be a way to get donations and volunteers
- Need to have a strategy for how to use the incoming energy
- We can start building a community plan
4.7 ShowKarma Updates
5********************************************************.0 Work organization: anything needed?********************************************************
6********.0 Miscellaneous********
- Maybe we need to think about to gamify the experience. Include points and POAPs, reputation for individual users and for the individuals coming in our server
- Potential for partnership with the company Fitnan is working for, but their product is not going to be ready in the next six month
- Might be worth to look into Galaxy, a platform used to gamify user experience
