Let's
see
if
I
can
figure
out
this
thing,
Good
Start,
okay,
there
we
go
all
right,
I,
guess,
quick
participation
gets
you
guys,
moving
raise
your
hand
if
you've
ever
visited
ethereum.org
before
excellent,
keep
your
hand
up
if
you've
contributed
to
ethereum.org
awesome.
If
you
haven't
yet
you
should
come
by
our
booth.
Pick
up
some
swag,
maybe
raise
your
hand
if
you're
interested
in
maybe
contributing
to
ethereum.org
cool,
all
right
I'll.
Try
to
increase
that
hand
count
with
this
talk
so
quick
agenda.
A
That's
me,
Shilling
ethereum.org
to
you
and
then
maybe
some
time
for
questions
at
the
end,
but
probably
not
because
I
tend
to
talk
too
much
so
really.
The
goals
of
this
talk
like
ethereum.org
as
a
project
has
evolved
over
the
years
and
I
think
it's
helpful
context
both
for
potential
contributors,
existing
contributors,
but
also
just
other
projects
in
the
space
that
often
have
to
create.
You
know
like
educational
content.
Trying
to
be.
A
Where
does
ethereum.org
go
in
the
future?
So,
let's
start
with
the
past
and
as
often
as
useful
with
the
past,
we
can
check
out
the
good
old
Wayback
machine.
Yeah
shout
out
to
Brewster
kale
over
here
of
the
internet.
Internet
archive
and
crew.
I
actually
saw
Brewster
at
breakfast
today,
but
I
was
too
embarrassed
to
come,
say
hi.
So
I
love
you
Brewster,
though
you're
you're,
a
good
man,
so
you
can
check
out.
A
You
know
the
website
was
open
source,
but
it
was
pretty
much
driven
by
the
ethereum
foundation,
tens
of
contributors,
a
few
pages
of
content,
pretty
much
all
the
projects
mentioned
on
the
website
were
built
by
folks,
primarily
within
the
foundation.
You
Know
download
a
client
download
a
wallet
run
said:
client
write,
smart
contracts
with
a
programming
language,
deploy
it
using
tooling,
read,
content
and
documentation,
pretty
much
all
largely
built
by
the
ethereum
foundation
and
again
not
a
bad
thing.
A
Just
kind
of
a
reflection
of
where
things
were
at
that
point
in
time
and
I
think,
like
the
short
gist
is
like
ethereum.org,
basically
was
the
ethereum
foundation,
which
you
know
kind
of
moving
to
the
present
day
over
the
past
three
years,
where
we've
tried
to
kind
of
shift.
This
is
really
to
more
of
a
Community
Driven
initiative,
and
you
know:
here's
a
a
blog
post
launch
from
April,
2019
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
a
little
tagline
built
by
the
community
for
the
community.
A
And
what
you
know,
folks
did
even
before
I
joined
was
start
a
new
website,
basically
a
blank
slate
there's
five
pages
of
content,
pretty
sparse,
but
started
with
like
a
new
Mission
and
a
set
of
principles
that
you
know
what
like
we
want
to
create
this
as
a
community
project.
It's
a
public
educational,
good.
It's
built
in
the
open
with
the
community's
help
like
ethereum
the
ecosystem.
The
goal
was
to
iterate,
evolve,
experiment
over
time
and
and
grow
and
evolve
with
ethereum
so
kind
of
looking
at
how
that
manifests.
A
Today
you
know
whether
you're
looking
to
get
eth
in
Colombia
buy
some
lunch
with
it.
Maybe
who
knows,
find
a
wallet,
compare
different
options
explore
applications
built
on
ethereum
that
you
can
use
today,
you
can
tell
the
kind
of
General
theme.
Here
is
like
different
from
those
2018
screenshots
like
we
list
all
ecosystem
built
projects
right
like
basically
not
much
is
built
by
the
foundation
these
days
and
I.
A
Think
that's
a
testament
just
to
like
the
incredible
growth
strength
of
this
ecosystem
very
exciting
to
be
a
part
of
yeah
hundreds
of
pages
thousands
of
contributors.
At
this
point,
millions
of
people
visit
the
website
each
month
again
largely
thanks
to
you
folks,
in
this
room
for
just
making
ethereum
a
sweet
place
to
be
and
I
think
yeah
the
main
gist
again
of
of
this
second
present-day
era
is
really
ethereum.org
is
separate
from
ethereum
Foundation.
A
I
am
one
of
them
I'm,
one
of
the
fortunate
few
who
gets
to
you
know
get
paid
to
work
on
this
full-time,
but
it's
a
very
small
core
team,
currently
10
of
us
and
again
compare
that
to
the
nearly
1
000
contributors
from
code
to
content
on
GitHub,
four
thousand
plus
translators.
All
volunteers
who
are
helping
you
know,
spread
the
gospel
educate
the
people
on
on
the
good
stuff
that
is
ethereum,
so
here
kind
of
wanted
to
spend
some
time
of.
A
A
You
know
I
showed
screenshots
where
we
show
different
products
show
different
wallets,
but
you
know
we
don't
make
money,
we
don't
run
affiliate
marketing
campaigns,
we
don't
get
kickbacks
from
clients
for
downloading
a
specific
one
and
I
think
a
lot
of
Open
Source
projects,
a
lot
of
ecosystems
within
the
ethereum
space
kind
of
wrestle
with
these
similar
tensions
or
considerations
and
yeah
just
figured
it'd,
be
worth
hopefully
generating.
Some
discussion
on
so
first
I
wanted
to
talk
about
credible
neutrality.
A
It's
about
mechanism
design-
and
you
know
he's
largely
talking
about
blockchain
protocols
in
this
article,
but
I
think
it
does
apply
pretty
well
to
a
website
like
ethereum.org,
where
we're
trying
to
build.
You
know
this
trustworthy,
neutral
platform
in
that
post.
He
mentions
you
know
like
four
steps
to
to
go
through,
basically,
don't
discriminate,
make
it
transparent
and
and
auditable,
keep
it
simple
and
try
not
to
change
it
for
us
in
practice.
I
think
we
do
this
pretty
well.
A
I
would
say,
like
the
one
kind
of
nuance
here
is
like
in
reality,
we
do
want
specific
outcomes.
Vitalik
even
mentions
in
the
post.
You
know,
like
a
mechanism,
can
be
totally
credibly
neutral
and
it
can
also
still
be
horrible.
So,
like
we
don't
want
to
create
a
horrible
website.
We
do
want
to
avoid
discrimination.
We
don't
want
to
be
king
makers,
we
don't
want
to
send
all
traffic
to
one
wallet
or
one
client.
We
do
want
certain
outcomes,
I
think
at
a
very
hand,
wavy
level.
A
You
know
we
want
to
spread
ethereum
values
such
as:
promoting
decentralization
and
creating
a
decent
ux
right
like
we
could
be
totally
neutral
again,
but
if
it's
a
super
shitty
website
that
everyone
bounces
from
and
no
one
starts,
learning
about,
ethereum
I
think
we're
kind
of
failing
in
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
so
again,
examples
of
how
that
manifests.
You
know,
like
we
do,
encourage
people
to
run
their
own
node.
A
A
You
know
ranking
things
from
most
trust
assumptions,
or
least
trust
assumptions
to
most
so
there
are
some
opinions
we
kind
of
put
into
the
product
and
I
think
just
recognizing
that
we
aren't
100
neutral
and
we
have
no
opinions
of
our
own
I.
Think
that's
just
not
really
fair
to
say,
I
think
the
importance
is
just
being
transparent
about
it,
going
further,
just
showing
some
pooled
staking
products.
For
instance,
you
can
see
we
do
try
to
guide
the
user
on,
like
considerations
involved
with
some
of
these
some
of
these
products.
A
So
the
approach
we
basically
take,
we
think
it's
okay
to
you
know
be
opinionated
about,
for
instance,
the
listing
criterias
we
make
how
a
product
gets
added
and
listed
on
ethereum.org,
but
as
much
as
we
can
be
neutral
and
objectively
evaluate
those
projects
against
that
listing
criteria.
We
create
and
again
make
the
make
the
process
transparent.
So
going
back
to
here
again,
you
can
see
we
choose
what
projects
are
being
evaluated
on
based
on
input
from
the
community
and
then
try
to
objectively
assess
those
those
projects
and
we
make
it
transparent.
A
Second
up,
subtraction,
Aya
and
others
have
also
touched
on
this
I
think
it's
a
good
General
ethos
of
the
ethereum
foundation
as
a
whole.
Ethereum.Org
very
much
inherits
that
of
like
we're
not
trying
to
be
the
end-all
be-all
only
place.
You
go
to
monolithic
website
to
do
all
your
ethereum
stuff
right.
We
see
ourselves
as
like
a
limited
product
focused
on
specific
areas.
A
You
know:
where
do
we
uniquely
add
value?
This
is
largely
areas
that
companies
aren't
incentivized
to
actually
do
often.
You
know
public
goods
falls
into
this
bucket.
There's
just
maybe
not
enough
incentives,
not
enough
resources
to
to
tackle
this
thinking
through.
You
know,
where
does
it
make
sense
for
us
to
focus
our
efforts?
Where
can
we
make
the
best
impact
and
how
do
we
kind
of
over
time?
Slowly
reduce
our
relevance?
You
know
again.
I
mentioned
we
have
a
core
team
of
10
right
now.
A
Sometimes
there's
considerations
of
like
are
we
trying
to
go
far?
Are
we
trying
to
go
fast
right
like
we
could
ship
this
feature?
We
could
write
this
content
immediately
or
very
quickly
if
we
just
did
it
ourselves,
but
if
we
do
want
to
build
a
growing
Community,
a
sustainable
Community
reduce
the
Reliance
of
core
contributors
over
time.
These
are
some
like
questions
questions
we
think
through
so
examples
of
yeah,
where
we
see
ourselves
in
a
unique
position
to
add
value.
I
think
you
know
2019.
A
So
that
was
like
really
the
base
Foundation
of
like
where
it
made
sense
in
our
eyes
of
like
okay,
there's,
some
basic,
neutral,
simple
information
that
we
can
provide,
we
can
translate
where
to
focus
our
efforts.
This
is
something
we
think
about
right.
There's
tons
of
projects
in
the
space
at
this
point:
where
does
it
make
sense
for
us
to
focus
I?
Think
Layer
Two
is
one
good
example.
You
know
over
the
past
year
or
so
fees
getting
crazy.
High
people
couldn't
even
use
the
network,
educating
users
encouraging
them
to
like
hey
these.
A
Similarly,
you
know
I
think
a
good
example
of
fear
is
like
we
have
a
listing
criteria,
what
layer
twos
we
show
and
as
part
of
that,
we
basically
just
say
like
hey.
If
you're
listed
on
l2beat.com,
that's
one
of
the
criteria
for
getting
included
on
ethereum.org
and
I
think
that's
a
good
example
of
subtraction
and
in
the
sense
of
like
recognizing,
hey,
there's
another
cool
project
that
has
a
team
of
experts
that
have
a
fairly
robust
framework,
analyzing
the
risks
of
different
Layer
Two
protocols.
We
don't
have
that
expertise
in-house.
A
We
could
hire
for
that,
but
maybe
we
could
just
collaborate
with
teams
in
the
space
where
it
makes
sense
and
I
think
that's
a
good
example
of
such
a
collaboration
and,
lastly,
just
an
example
of
yeah.
Again.
How
do
we
think
about
going
far
versus
going
fast?
We
publish
you,
know
our
product
roadmaps
every
quarter
on
GitHub.
We
try
to
do
our
best
to
like
where
it
makes
sense
engage
the
community.
You
know.
A
A
A
Pablo
our
developer,
leading
this
project
could
have
just
cranked
out
all
of
this
on
his
own,
probably
a
lot
faster
than
it
took
otherwise,
but
through
this
process
you
know
we
got
tens
of
contributors
who
are
now
regularly
coming
back
looking
to
continue
their
typescript
chops.
You
know
looking
to
improve
as
a
react
developer.
Some
of
the
core
team
from
Chakra
has
now
gotten
involved
in
like
collaborating
with
us
in
this
front.
A
So
I
think
this
is
another
good
example
of
just
like
it
sucks
up
front
to
just
like
invest
in
the
education,
the
Outreach
to
really
bring
in
people
who
who
want
to
contribute,
but
if
you're
thinking
about
the
long
run,
this
can
be
a
very
effective
way
to
grow
that
community
over
time.
Third
Reinventing,
the
wheel
real
quickly,
I
think
like
cryptos
Reinventing,
many
Industries
education
doesn't
necessarily
need
to
be
one
of
them.
A
There's
a
lot
of
great
resources
out
there
of
like
hey
crowdsourced
educational
public,
good
content,
Mozilla
developer
Network
in
particular,
was
a
huge
source
of
inspiration
for
us.
They've
just
done
an
awesome
job
for
almost
multiple
decades.
At
this
point,
in
terms
of
just
like,
volunteer
driven
Community
documenting
web
standards,
Translating
that
content
doing
a
kick-ass
job
of
just
like
providing
excellent
resources.
A
Here
you
can
see
an
mdn
page
here.
You
can
see
in
ethereum.org
page
looks
pretty
similar
shout
out
to
Ryan
Cordell.
If
he's
here,
who
designed
this
page
for
us
also
Carl,
Faircloth
and
Alex
sing,
helped
us
with
a
lot
of
designs
in
the
early
days
and
just
kind
of
like
basic
techniques.
Again,
learning
from
other
projects,
not
Reinventing
the
wheel,
hey
make
a
big
edit
button
on
your
page
right,
make
it
one
two
three
clicks
to
open
a
pull
request.
A
Wow,
look
at
that,
and
you
know
that's
not
the
only
reason
that
we've
seen
growth
and
contributions
from
the
community
over
time.
Obviously,
bull
markets
help
you
know
hype
around
the
protocol
helps
but
from
you
know,
just
like
open
issues
and
PR's
even
by
individual
contributors.
You
can
see
here
like
it,
helps
to
proactively
engage
people
and
get
them
involved,
get
them
empowered,
very
much
along
those
lines.
Community
engagement,
here's
some
ways
that
you
can
contribute
to
ethereum.org.
A
I
think
a
big
one
is
just
recognizing
that
different
people
are
motivated
in
different
ways
right,
like
it's
sweet
to
get
paid
sure
some
people
want
rewards,
but
others
want
just
recognition.
Some
people
just
want
access.
Some
people
want
to
learn.
Some
people
want
to
teach
some
people
just
want
to
feel
heard
and
Heckle
us
on
Twitter.
You
know:
that's,
okay,
that's
contributing
in
your
own
way,
so
I
guess
my
tip
on
this
would
just
be
experiment
with
different
approaches
along
those
lines
and
we
have
in
the
past.
A
You
know
just
recognition
of
contributions
through
leaderboards
on
the
website
offering
certificates
to
translators,
who
can
then
put
that
on
their
LinkedIn
or
on
their
resume.
Simple.
Shout
outs
to
people
on
the
website
for
helping
out
open,
Community
calls
I
think
again
pretty
basic
stuff
for
a
lot
of
Open
Source
web3
projects
these
days,
but
just
being
available
having
an
open,
Discord
I
think
can
go
a
long
way.
A
A
The
ethereum
foundation
does
hire
our
team's
not
actively
hiring
right
now,
but
I
think
the
general
rule
of
thumb
is
like
we
do
view
ethereum.org
contributions
as
like
a
great
talent
funnel,
and
we
do
try
to
empower
regular
contributors
and,
if
they're
looking
for
work
full-time
in
the
space
like
that
stuff,
we
do
try
to
try
to
help
out
with
so
I
think
sure
it
is
tough
and
I
recognize.
Not
everyone
can
always
work
for
free
and
open
source.
A
A
Translations,
big
kudos
to
Tayon
Kim,
a
good
friend
who
really
advocated
for
this
translation
program
on
ethereum.org
in
the
early
days
when
I
think,
like
myself,
included
just
didn't
recognize
the
importance
of
it.
I
mean
it
seemed
simple
now
and
obvious
now
of
like
okay,
hey,
there's
six
billion
humans
on
the
on
the
earth
that
don't
speak,
English
and
even
the
ones
who
do
actually
prefer
reading
and
learning
in
their
native
language.
A
So
it
takes
work
right
but
like
putting
in
that
effort
up
front
early,
recruiting
people
getting
excited
volunteers
who
maybe
want
to
learn
by
translating
has
definitely
paid
big
dividends
and
just
a
quick
look
at
just
kind
of
visits
to
ethereum.org
over
time.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
fascinating
stories
in
this
data
that
I
don't
have
time
to
go
into
bull
markets,
nfts
the
merge
all
that
fun
stuff,
but
I
think
one
narrative
in
particular.
That's
really
exciting!
A
Is
translations
and
like
consumption
of
translated
content
over
time.
So
this
is
excluding
English
and
looking
at
the
same
chart
just
taking
out
English
it's
breaking
down
by
a
bunch
of
different
languages,
but
you
can
see
overall,
where
the
trend
is
going.
We
just
had
a
you
know.
Another
record
month
for
translated
content
last
month,
very
much
a
manatee,
a
vanity
metric,
but
you
can
see
the
progression
over
time.
A
Here's
a
quick
breakdown,
I'm
running
out
of
time,
but
I
think
the
short
gist
on
this
is
like.
If
you
don't
have
a
localization
strategy
like
you're,
not
gonna
make
it.
It
is
super
important
for
the
future
of
your
project.
My
teammate
Luca,
who
runs
our
translation
program,
has
a
talk
on
this
tomorrow.
Highly
encourage
you
to
check
that
out
real
quick,
because
I
think
I'm
almost
out
of
time,
but
talking
about
the
future.
Where
could
this
go?
I
mean
the
lame
and
wavy
answer
here
is
like
ultimately,
it's
up
to
you.
A
Like
again,
we
publish
our
roadmap
as
a
team
on
GitHub.
We
try
to
solicit
as
much
input
from
possible
from
the
community.
What
should
we
we
be
working
on?
Where
should
we
be
going?
Not
just
the
content,
not
just
the
features
on
the
website,
but
really
anything
you
want
to
get
involved
with
whether
it's
General
feedback,
you
know
joining
Community
calls
all
that
good
stuff
I
mean
a
few
main
areas
like
we'll.
Definitely
be
thinking
about
and
would
love
input
from
you
folks
on
is
just
like.
A
How
do
we
continue
to
progressively
push
and
empower
the
community
to
like
take
over
more
and
more
of
this
project?
You
know
we've
been
experimenting
with
bringing
new
roles
in
such
as
language
leads.
You
know
power
contributors
of
sorts
who
who
operate
certain
areas,
giving
them
more
Authority,
more
power,
same
thing
with
GitHub
and
content
contributions.
A
Third
party
Educators
is
one
I'd
like
love
to
explore.
I.
Think
translating
content
from
English
to
other
languages
is
great,
but
I
I,
don't
think
we
can
pretend
like
that,
misses
a
lot
of
just
like
the
cultural
nuance
and
understanding
of
like
what
is
the
best
way
to
communicate
to
this
region,
to
this
language,
it's
probably
not
just
taking
English
content
and
translating
it
into
that
language.
It
probably
deserves
dedicated
teams
thinking
through
who
understand
how
to
communicate
to
a
particular
group
of
people
so
yeah.
How
do
we
get
there?
