Announcements related to EPA:
- Mentorship editing tests are live! *item for Sam to send edit test, maybe set a window for this initial round of mentees (two weeks maybe?) (s4 starts April 18, just an fyi)
- In light of S4 being just around the corner, shadowing for the EPA coordinator role is also open, excited to work with those of you who are shadowing! (just DM me to shadow)
- I’m exploring the DAO Lite idea with a way to streamline EPA into EPA Lite. Not ready to share a document, but if anyone wants to jam on EPA Lite, open invite!
Discussion:
EPA Lite:
- What would an EPA Lite truly look like? (Is minimum viable epa a “thing” that we should have?)
- Solving for contributor bandwidth and contribution stuff
- Maybe different ways to solve for burnout
- If we slim down would that hurt the machine?
- Is there a different DAO Lite option?
- Hard to imagine “decentralizing” roles right now....probably a little bit away from a decentralization of coordination
- Attendance for EPA meetings dropping off might not be a bad thing
- Solutions: be more in-the-open about what we do in our roles, be more transparent,
- More solutions: promote what we’re doing, be more open about praise for people, show everyone the great work that we’re doing
- Thoughts on changes to roles?
Put IP thing together for S4
- IP is starting to become a problem
- Writers are pulling articles because of IP issues
- Maybe we should allow people to re-publish after 1 month or so? Because the most traffic is immediately after publication
- We at least need something in writing so we can clarify IP stuff for writers
Moving to Mirror. How soon? Now? Need to design a “front page” of sorts.
Payments: sliding scale based on BANK price? Or....a happy middle?
- We possibly need to adjust payments for designers, been tough getting designs recently at our 1,000 BANK per cover design rate
Editing framework quizzes and fun!!!
A few action items for sam:
- Mass tag about EPA mentorships (check)
- Begin writing S4 budget based on current roles, but without a secretary role (the secretary role will be handled by Writers Guild Treasurer) (check)
- Begin writing an IP document to make stuff super official so we’re not just pretending we own it! lol (check)
- Also consider when minting NFTs what happens with IP there (check)
- Move to Mirrorrrr!!!
