A

Hello and welcome to the dxdow business call uh uh for monday, 4th of july 2022, happy america day, happy independence day to all the americans um yeah. So today, on the agenda, we have a quite a short agenda with uh you know, not many many americans on the call um we have hcc that's uh coming up in about two weeks. Some people in the call have just recently formed and are going to come as well.

A

um Under that we have a few uh initiatives: swapper uh awareness campaign that was discussed uh happy hour week, notices, that's that's, live uh and yeah dig style dinner. That's uh planned um further down uh like further uh down the year. I guess, if that's an expression, that we have acker hacker sole in bogota. We have a gusto, that's here and we'll have a discussion about orbis that we started in the accentures chat um and yeah. I guess we can get started um so like with this ecc and paris and what's happening there.

A

There was a discussion that I think melanie started uh around swapper uh and sort of like an awareness campaign um and yeah nathan. Do you want to continue that yeah yeah.

B

Yeah there are a few tracks to uh talk about um revolving around paris. 2022 one is the swap awareness. um There is a dedicated channel in cubase and um I'm grateful for melanie for starting this thing. um Basically, there are a lot of devs from the swapper team and also um a lot of us from dxdo attending ecc, even though we don't have tickets, but um we kind of like have to seize the moment and use this opportunity to showcase one of our best products um that we've invested in uh so much into already.

B

uh Swapper and um ecc would be the the best time to do this, so we could either do it throughout the whole uh time or we could focus on our happy hour that we're organizing with along with gnosis, gitpo, app and now save joined us as well.

B

um Initially, we were thinking along the lines of showcasing um the product through the uh swapper expeditions, creating a customer journey asking people to do certain commitments and then rewarding them, but we're not there. Yet it may not be ready. So there were a few ideas thrown around and friday on the strategy, call, I believe, dave or john suggested we could um do um because it's gonna be really hot in in paris.

B

At that time, we could possibly print out stickers, uh like um labels uh for beverages like on on beer bottles and and soft drinks, that we could give away to others and have a chat with them. Talk about the different, um unique aspects of swapper and showcase the products in its best light, um yeah.

B

Not sure whether um we have kind of like finalized this we're still pondering on it. I myself, along with wayne, were questioning whether it would be a little too much to handle. You know um you know the heavy lifting around moving uh liquids.

B

Maybe we could leverage the fact that we've already ordered those fantastic fans. uh You know handheld fans that you wave to make yourself core.

B

We could leverage the fact that we've already got those and probably do this with them, but we haven't had like consensus on it um yeah. um Regarding the uh we will continue the conversation around this in the uh swapper uh channel for for paris.

B

um If anyone isn't in it and would like to join it, uh let us know and um melanie will add it to the channel.

B

I think she's, the admin regarding the um dx dow happy hour in paris that we're co-organizing with diagnosis, gitpop and safe. Your all, all of you who are joining um everyone else in paris, is on the special vip guest list. So you don't need to apply on the eventbrite uh amazing news. We have more than 320 people that have signed up on the waitlist.

B

We need to do a lot of sifting and see how we could prioritize whom to invite and whom to sadly say no to, but it looks like it's gonna be an amazing event.

B

uh If you click on the link in the agenda, the happy hour is uh hyperlinked and you could see it takes you to the eventbrite page and you can see what the agenda is. We basically have um an interesting agenda for the event.

B

There'll be guided, breakout discussions in in different corners and attendees can join each corner depending on the organization and product they're interested in and um on one hand, we'll be talking about dows um on another one we'll be discussing uh how builders are really key and what we can do with on-chain reputation, because one of the core organizers is gitpo app and they are catering to developers and people who have been contributing on git pull up to their favorite projects by rewarding them with amazing uh collapse, and this kind of serves like your own chain, reputation for your contributions to certain projects.

B

Just like dx dao rewards contributors with uh reputation.

B

um You know whether anonymous hedonists or known developers, uh freelancers and people from the decentralized community globally that have been contributing to different dows and products uh throughout the years can now claim those collapse and proudly show them um to their peers or, if they're, applying for a position at a new organization, they can easily show their co-apps as achievements. It kind of serves as a resume. It's it's a really interesting product that they're actually doing for free.

B

um It touches on what uh we saw um karma uh building and a lot of other uh products in the space trying to build solutions around this uh type of product offering fun facts.

A

Wait nathan going back a bit: um are we the ones with the event bright like? Are we gonna be deciding like who comes in to the event or.

B

Yes, yeah. um We are.

A

Yeah, I'm thinking like if we have a long wait list um yeah how about we. We do something like uh um like what uh rafa has been doing with, like you know, not a poem, but you know we could tweet out. If you want to come to the gnosis and dave's, now whatever and and gitpo up event, um you know tell us why decentralization matters in like one tweet uh and then you know if we like your answer, um you know we'll send.

C

You uh an invite.

A

And this could also like uh yeah, generate quite uh yeah, quite quite the traffic for our twitter as well uh and yeah. It could screen like all the people who are just like signing up to everything.

B

Yeah perfect: let's do it. um I think we could easily uh do that with the help of uh wayne and whether we have like 300 or 500 applicants, the the more the the merrier and um yeah. This will be a way to engage them and really help us. uh You know decide whom to invite. If someone is, you know very keen and they stand out with an amazing interaction with our tweet and prompt. Then they truly deserve to attend so yeah. um Let's do it. We have time and uh it's a low hanging fruit.

B

We should totally do.

D

B

Is skin in here, I'm not sure yeah.

A

D

Oh um yeah, I'm here sorry, I missed the context here. huh You were doing something else.

B

Yeah, I'm heads down right now. Sorry, no worries yeah. We were saying that the eventbrite is over subscribed and we'll have to decide uh uh which applications to decline. So um elon is.

A

Saying we should probably have not not which applications to decline, but essentially from the dxdot twitter like we can talk about our event and then um tell people if you want to you know get on the into our uh our event. You know please share one in one tweet, why decentralization matters and then yeah? Basically, I think it doesn't have to be that complicated anyone who gives like like a semi-legit answer. We just have dm them uh or you know, tell them to dms with their email and then you know we can improve.

A

You can approve their email in the event right.

D

um So I'm hearing is nylon, loves the rave yeah five ticket at a time release. Oh no.

A

No, no, I love that ravi like make us a poem, because you ask someone to you know, do something right.

D

Yeah yeah, I'm just messing with you. I think it's a really good idea, uh definitely something that we can do as well, um but I guess question because I haven't been involved in the uh the event bright side of things: do we actually have control over that? I thought it was a point.

B

D

The hypnosis chain, I thought they oh.

B

I think is it, I thought it was more so knows his chain had control.

D

Over that was my interpretation yeah.

B

No, no, no, we, we are in control of it together, like I have access to to the list and we will be screening, applicants together and deciding whom to inviting, because it's uh when you go on.

A

So, let's maybe I think maybe the first thing to do is just like tell them they. Let's do this in order to screen some um yeah some people from the waitlist, and I think I'm pretty sure that they'll agree um yeah. Of course, yeah.

D

Yeah definitely, let's start there. uh I don't think it'll.

E

Be a problem: did everyone go to a waitlist or were the tickets that were released and like? When did this.

D

B

Yeah that that's that's what I was gonna say it's um when you register you don't get a ticket. It's it's all, just a wait list. Also. Everyone is in a waitlist, correct, correct, but we ourselves we. We are on a special vip guest list. We we have tickets ourselves.

E

Yeah sure, no I'm talking about like people. I wanted to invite to the event who are obviously not on on our guest list or do we add them to the guest list? How does it work? Yes, yeah.

B

If you want to personally invite someone, don't have them, go to the eventbrite, uh give me the list of names and we'll add them to the guest list so that they definitely get in, because if they applied on eventbrite, we wouldn't know that you invited them and we may decline their applications.

D

Yeah regarding the uh ticketing and and social stuff uh super fun little thing. I think uh something that we can do. Probably today are we uh talking about it now has this has changed formally? uh You know.

B

Oh no, it just came up.

D

And when they, when they planning on announcing it.

B

No, it's like it. It's it's really weird! It's it's a thing! That's been going on and it's already over subscribed. It's not been officially announced. We could announce it now. Ourselves, like every project, is announcing it separately and we can announce because it's all a waitlist, so whether you have like 100 200, 300 or 500 applicants. It's the same thing because in the end you just choose which ones to give the tickets to or not.

B

So this is our moment for us to officially announce it share it on our social media with our community, and we could either do it just by announcing the event or we could also do a fun game that alan suggests.

D

Cool and then the only other thing I need um to know because we're kind of doing this as a group. um How many can we accept? I mean hypothetically, it sounds like there really isn't a limit, uh but it would be nice to kind of have that set up is, for um you know.

B

I mean there is like we haven't, discussed, whether we each have quotas or anything like that. We are just adding people to a guest list and I guess even at some point, if, if the guest list, because the whole venue is for 150 people, if we get to 150 people, then that's it and um it could all be just people from the guest list and uh for for those on eventbrite, sorry, yeah.

D

Okay, cool yeah, I'll prep, something to uh send in the group just to make sure the rest are comfortable with it and then wayne. uh We can chat a little bit later today, uh write a little announcement thread and uh you know a couple fun conditions uh that we can post over the next week.

A

Yeah you got it is this in the gnosis chain, the style chat or.

B

No, that there is a special channel for um the event. It's like.

D

Dow builders.

B

Paris, maybe.

D

If I remember correctly, yeah correct.

A

Yeah all right, like uh I'll, ask you, do you add me later um yeah awesome. So like great stuff, um I think maybe the next topic is kind of like a deep style dinner.

A

um I don't know if anyone, I think maybe people were talking about this like to do it every day, but yeah.

B

Yeah there was uh this question whether we we should organize a dinner early like on the 18th before the whole thing starts, because once we started attending different events, it will be hard to organize anything.

B

But then certain people said that they are coming late on the 19th 20th, and so um another idea was um circulated that we should do a couple of dinners one early for whoever whomever can attend early and then another one later when we have like a full team.

B

Everybody's has arrived who's on the list, so I don't know.

B

I guess it would be something that would be easier for us to arrange on site um on spots, because I myself have applied to many different events and if I have to choose between networking and shilling dx dao at someone else's event or going to a dinner with you guys, I mean I would love to be at the dxdow dinner. But you know to make my trip more valuable to to the dow. I would rather go to the other event.

B

So um I think, since each and every one of us is attending different events, it would be hard to come up with uh time and date that would fit everyone's schedule. So it's probably best to organize something on site on the spot.

A

B

Guess we can, but I definitely but I definitely see the value in in organizing one early on before everything has started like really on the 18th and um getting aligned along the you know talking points when we meet people. What should we be chatting about, and and so on and so forth? It will be very helpful, especially for um our newest contributors that have joined us recently.

A

Yeah um yeah, it's always a good idea. Maybe we can do like even uh like lunch or something um so yeah, yeah, so yeah. I guess that we we can. We can try and think on that during ecc.

A

What else is up.

B

Yeah hacker soul, bogota people can click on the link or I can share it for them to see the latest uh iteration of the website. It's still on github uh man, I have so many tabs open. I can't find the c here. It is uh thanks to the amazing augusto who put up this uh simple, but amazing, page, um very yeah. I think we're still 17 on the call uh airlines saying people getting disconnected yeah jits has been weird lately.

C

A

Just got disconnected yeah.

B

A

You got disappointed.

B

A

This is, uh this: is amazing, yeah, isn't it.

B

Augusta is a magician.

C

I call him brujo yeah. It wasn't hard guys. It was easy. Yeah thanks.

F

Hello to dear cancun, with all their resources together, so yeah. Thank you. They they did nothing here.

B

No credit, usually yeah.

F

Because he dave.

B

Is saying in the chat and me.

A

Yeah, but so are we looking for like co-organizers co-sponsors for this thing.

D

A

Yeah organizations interesting to talk to like like ef basically, and maybe this could become yeah- I don't know because, like devcon, doesn't usually have a hackathon right, and so maybe this could become like the hackathon of defcon.

F

I I won't be yeah, maybe that's a lot to us foreign, that's something that would be something very hard. You know to be claiming be there ethereum foundation, hackathon, and I think there is not. There is never going to be some something that the role of the ethereum foundation is to organize a conference right focus for developers and grow in the 3d ecosystem.

A

F

A

Be interested in supporting something like this.

F

Yeah, I don't, I don't think so I I I don't think I don't think they should. I don't think you.

D

F

On any any other event that occurs outside their control, they shouldn't be putting the name. There I mean ethereum foundation is too important to be.

F

This is why they do only webcam right. This is the only event that they organize. They don't appear anywhere else.

F

Yeah yeah they use dev connect too. Okay.

F

um Well, that's ready. uh We want to announce it today. uh I think we are waiting for some things, but we have everything that we need to to announce it right and start getting hacker supplies. That's the most important thing, that's the most important thing and what we need right now, because the more the more hackers we have applied, the uh we get the more the assurance that we get, that the event is going to be successful. Right.

G

Yeah yeah, I'm wondering like I know there was some talk about. uh We spoke to it global, but it would be good, maybe like if we can get some sort of partnership with them as well since they'll be getting so much applications I mean. Maybe they can like send some over to us or I don't know collaborate in some way.

F

Oh wow yeah. That would never happen.

G

F

Yeah yeah. That would never happen. Yeah.

A

G

A

For-Profit organization, yeah yeah.

G

But they won't be accepting all the people like they always have. That issue like too much.

F

Meaning it is being recorded. Yes right, okay, I kind of use the f4, but uh that's what's.

G

Preventing you from swearing.

F

Yeah we want to do something different right and I think they don't want to collaborate or see this happening so yeah and if, on their selection process, they just select everyone. Okay, that's that's how they do it. We only care about on well the hacker application.

F

We are seeing some, what the stay, the stock that they use, what they want to hack on what they, what do they want to learn? What do they want to to have to have fun right and that's the most important thing we know we don't say, for example, and we specify that on the faq, the country, the gender or or any or any personal information.

F

It's just your motivation that once brings you what what's drives you: what drives you to be applying right for the hackathon, so we want people that just want to learn.

B

Yeah, it's a it's a whole different experience.

B

A

Okay, um well, a good store, keep us updated and so right now the uh it's open for like submissions right.

F

Like to hack, it will be very soon, I mean want to announce announce today, so I hope that you guys that you are already the twitter space spam. Everyone and we want to add, as many people apply apply as possible.

F

B

Gonna share it with all of our followers.

A

F

Dave you are already in, uh I cannot let you apply. I mean you, you were one right if you applied, so you want to leave the competition, it will be unfair for the hackers to compete against you right.

B

Yeah we could do some competition like each and one of us could pick a team to kind of like partner with and be a part of the team and compete. But if, if we're also judges, I mean not me, of course, but if some of you are judges, you may be biased.

F

Yeah exactly that that idea we want, I think we want two types of mentors mentors are going uh that are going to be following or assigned to a team. uh You want the public mentors who are going to be in in the tables right who they don't have any any team assigned, so those mentors that they don't have any team assigned. Specifically, they are eligible to be judges right because they want bias on when they have to select a team or or put a score to a team.

F

So yeah along as long as you are a public mentor, you can be literally to to be a judge and then yes, we want to assign mentors to a specific team, so they will be.

F

They will have a direct connection for the team at any time they need, so they need to be available for the team at any time.

A

Okay, cool, I guess the next topic is um yeah. The accenture's discussion about orbis and I don't know like we could probably close the recording here. I guess some of these.
