Oh just seeing this new impact reporting project by @mmurthy 
This might be an even better solution to keep track of all the things Citizens do (fyi @carlosjmelgar @umarkhaneth)
Go check it out here!
And of course this project in and by itself is a perfect candidate for the next Citizens RetroQF Round!
Not in any round but happy to report that I got a system message to say that Iām New User of the Month.
Have been devouring everything Ethereum since one of the first meet-ups in London at the Barclays Elevator space which included a presentation by Chief Ethereum Scientist Mr Vitalik. Gitcoin has always been one of those central pillars of Ethereum for me, enabling people to get funding for their work while it is still nascent.
Want to contribute much more to the Gitcoin ecosystem going forward. One thing Iād like to work on is highlighting how many projects have started with modest funding from Gitcoin, find pmf and go on to flourish.
Thanks @krrisis. We will be happy to add more features to meet the needs of your team and Citizens. Please let me know if there are problems you would like us to tackle.
This sounds like a fantastic idea, go for it!
Few updates on GrantsScope (AI utilities to help in grantee discovery):
I like this idea. great way to keep tabs on citizens and provide a feedback loop for both accountability and transparency.
3 Quick update from thinkDecade.
Running an independent QF round focused on impact in Africa. Introducing Public Good Africa to Gitcoin

Helping projects apply for GG19 and helping potential donors set up passports. https://x.com/publicgoodAfric/status/1722292826170351679?s=20
We are really excited. Things are going very well with our pilot program on gitcoin and the response from everybody is very nice saying that optimism has provided a low friction UX to donate.
Thereās also some other content that weāve been making round to round on our YouTube channelā¦! Itās tough to keep up with everything, but we are trying our best to keep people informed. Spreading awareness about public goods and the gitcoin ecosystem is definitely an ongoing job. There are lots of aspects of the website that have been changing and evolving along the way to keep people updated on.
There is a lot to do and we will be releasing more content as soon as possible along with specific eligibility guidelines for the application process on our first mission coming up in January. Applications open January 1st. 
Here for an update.
I joined the āGreenpill Round Managers Cohortā an went through the lessons with Gitcoin leaders. We run a small round for āGG18 Underdogsā and had quite fun. Ended up giving out $72 each to two projects

Ran another QF for EarthistDAO. In this round, we applied for Arbitrum Macthing Fest and got a %25 boost to our macthing pool.
Onboarded a local NGO to GG19
And some content:
Now we are in a āRounder Manager Writers Cohortā and i wrote a āHow to create a QF Round on Gitcoin Grants Stackā tutorial. Have a video too but not published yet.
20th Dec - Edit: published the video
Translated the Arbitrum Matching Fest post from Gitcoin Blog
Wrote a āHow to create a Hypercertā tutorial, made a video and subtitled it for Turkish audience.
Made a video with tr subs for Owockiās talk on āThe State of Greenpillā at Greenpill Connect (Devconnect week) (not sure how relevant this is)
Every english content created here will be translated to Turkish also. Just found a good text-to-speech AI that can do Turkish
Talking to more communities to get them onboarded 
Wow nice post, love all the entries and enjoy every diferent way to update your work 
Gm. We are launching a Mexican Round 
Hey Citizens fam, Iāve been working on bringing more people Onchain to web3, starting broadly and then gradually narrowing focus towards Scientists & Physicians. Weāre a few episodes in (https://arch1med3sl3v3r.substack.com/). DeID and Gitcoin Passport are relatively risk-free onboarding tools (as opposed to DeFi), and Gitcoin a solid Schelling Point for well-meaning newcomers. In our view, itās important for the uninitiated to learn about Gitcoin & Public Goods - up there with primitives like BTC & ETH.
Gitcoin is also a great signaling tool for projects/protocols that are under the radar and poised to create value, so weāre skating to where the puck is going by priming discussions towards innovations in Elastic DeFi like the AMPL-SPOT Protocol. Naturally, this entails broader discussions about web3 values.
The Gitcoin Citizens project has been incredibly valuable and supportive, and weād like to help it grow. AMPL has been staked in the Rollover Vault on the citizensofgitcoin.eth domain to help secure Inflation-Resistant Flatcoin SPOT. In our humble opinion, a Liquidation-Free stable asset like SPOT that doesnāt lose Purchasing Power is Public Good. As the Ampleforth protocol expands and value accrues in the vault, we hope Gitcoin Citizens will learn about the system and govern how the value should be directed towards Public Goods (very loosely, DAI is to ETH as SPOT is to AMPL).
With gratitude 
Importantly, our focus is not on exclusively shilling protocols. We are also interested in raising awareness about engineering & design principles from Elastic Decentralized Finance. We believe the inversion of Price Elasticity into Supply Elasticity will be seen as a vital step for DAOs interested in securing their treasuries. After all, this is biomimicry.
Cc: @Accidentalpsych welcome to Gitcoin
I have made a separate post below on the findings of using clustering algorithms (as well as past donation data to drive personalized recommendations):
Just released a Dune dashboard on metrics and trends of Allo Protocol. You can check it out here => https://dune.com/ivanmolto/allo-protocol-multichain
More news on new developments in the next days 
Hiho.
Well today iāve posted the results for my > first GGR, sponsored by Talent Protocol and myself. Now we are looking to start the next round in February 9th for builders and developers to help us with tools to have a better on chain signature in Arbitrum.
Also translating and being active on boarding people to Gitcoin.
This round was awesome! Start with an budget and at final of round, Weāve 300% more of donations.
The Latam and Mexican people love Gitcoin and Weāre lined with the philosophy and values of web3.

I successfully completed the Greenpill Round Managers Cohort and am now engaged in further training with RegenLearnings.xyz and the Regen Data Bootcamp to improve my analysis and content, focusing on funding what what matters for portuguese-speaking audiences
A quick update here. After many challenges due to the plans to sunset the PGN network & allo v2 update we have had to shift the schedule for our grants program from January until April. We will provide another update once the v2 contracts are available so we can deploy our round and begin the application over for our current round on Optimism network.
Itās unfortunate that PGN is shutting down.
Gm, Gm, we made an Arbitrum round
You can see it here:
