Announcements

March for Words starts next week

PLM work group wants to do a session with the EPA. Rene suggested March 3. We’d have to do it earlier in the day because Rene is in a timezone where the regular EPA meeting would be in the middle of the night.

• We’re looking at the 1st week of March during the same time as the alternate EPA meeting
• Links asked if this is a retrospective meeting or a long term planning meeting. He explained that it will most likely retrospective
• Ap0ll0 asked if Links could switch with Rene and facilitate our meeting
  • He explained that it would conflict since he participates in this projects.

Discussion

March for Words is coming up! Starting February 21

• Should we schedule “shut up and write” times? Would you all go to those?
  • Hiro explained that this is a great idea. He said it was a success when they did this the other day.
• Apollo, what’s the word on budget for adding more $$ on top?
  • We’ve published 10 articles so far in S3.
    • 6 in Jan, 4 so far in Feb
  • The budget is for 30 during the season.
  • It doesn’t look like there’s extra left to add - we’re not that far behind our projections
• Sam proposed that we include any extra earnings on our S4 funding request and retro pay it to the writers
  • Ap0ll0 suggested we use some of our stables to incentivize due to BANK’s current price action.
  • Ultimately, we want to continue to diversify our treasury. We could increase our ask amount to GC in S4 and retro pay authors
• We want to also increase the length of submitted articles - word count
  • Should we scale the reward based on number of words? Currently 2 BANK per word with a cap of 3K BANK
• We need to flesh out a marketing or promotion campaign
  • Maybe have DAO Heat promote for us?
• https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z3bk_oqlRFaNJrdwQunLo7ShAppxDfIDTLlfT-rk_nA/edit?usp=sharing

Article ideas list:

• We need to work on listing out ideas on the doc above.
• What are some bDAO history ideas to put on Mirror?

Mentee program

• Quality process: we need a quality assurance process so we can properly evaluate mentees when the time comes
• Links’s idea from very short alt time zone meeting: Need to first implement it on the Editors Circle, then implement on mentees
  • Author and secondary editor both give a “rating” on the primary edit?
  • 1-10 score
  • Author gives 1-10 on the quality of the edits and secondary editor gives a quality rating based on the piece coming in
    • Hiro is worried that this would be counterproductive
