Self Reflection on previous contributor proposal:
Here is my reflection on the past 2 months of contributing at DXdao. What a whirlwind October and November were! Not only did we have our first DAO retreat - DXretreat, but we also participated in LisCon and ETHLisbon:) Big thank you to @dlabs whom I collaborated and coordinated with to make these events come to life. See Sky´s recap for more details of DXdao´s 2 weeks in Lisbon.
What I did well on:
- Planning, coordinating and executing our DXretreat and participation in LisCon and ETHLisbon!
- Planning our Future of Prediction Markets Event in Lisbon
- Recruiting and collaborating alongside @0xVenky and @JohnKelleher o help onboard new developers into the DXdao ecosystem
What I need to improve on:
- Last period we saw an increase in late/unsubmitted contributor proposals. The Contributor UX has begun to readdress this issue to identify what caused the uptick and how to ensure contributors are submitting their proposals in a timely manner.
- I didn’t have a chance this period to review, restructure, and implement the contributor compensation overhaul as previously outlined in my proposal. I plan on prioritizing this initiative this period alongside @powers, @keenanl and @dlabs .
- I expected to have posted our DXdao open contributor roles posted on various job forums by now as outlined here. Unfortunately, due to some delays I have not been able to do so.
