Community
Project Updates / Announcements
A new RFC proposing a Public Goods Guild / Initiative is looking for feedback on the forum. With public goods as one of Developer DAO’s key missions, it’s time we create a guild dedicated solely to pushing that ecosystem forward. This idea is still in its early stages, so give the RFC a read and join the conversation on the forum.
Community guild and onboarding program budget proposals are waiting for review and feedback. The community guild budget proposal illustrates how guild leaders work and our internal workflows including Developer DAO Notion Wiki and translation schemes. Any comments or ideas are needed, or jump into #👫-community-general channel and tag luan and Alex1237 to start a discussion.
