Summary

This is the mbd guild budget application for Season 1. It outlines the high-level goals of the guild, how we plan to get there, the team working to make this happen and a proposed budget. This budget includes the DevRel team for Season 1 however their scope may expand enough during the Season for them to live outside of MBD.

The proposed budget is 31,680 $CODE to be distributed over the course of 16 weeks.

@Colin4ward for this portion of the proposal were you going to be acting as the defacto “event coordinator” for these (inception to event)? In a related note, did we want to add a KPI/success metric around the number of IRL events thrown in season 1?

In any case, I pledge my support for this initiative

Those have been managed in an ad hoc fashion with someone who is attending each event taking lead. MBD has been “leading from behind” in that sense - providing guidance on how to handle monies and promote. I’m hoping with the establishment of some financial infrastructure we can play a more proactive role in S1, though I’d still expect attendees to organize.

Ah i see, so would it be correct to think that it’ll play out kind of like a “bounty” in the sense that a lead (or leads) are incentivized to follow through/host the IRL with “payment” in $CODE?

cc @Colin4ward has anyone put any thoughts down regarding how we formalise our approach to events? I’d love to work with folks to get something in place as events are clearly a bit outlet for the DAO and members looking to have an impact. There is a lot we can do here for sure and many folks are clearly interested in pushing forward with various events types including y’all with web3con, hackathons, @dhaiwat10 with IRL events in India and he also has some other interesting stuff in the works he’ll share with the group soon etc.

Will be working on the guidelines for Vibes IRL in MBD voice at some point over the next few days. Will announce when I’m in the channel.
