Thanks for the feedback @gospelofchange.
The upcoming Schelling Point at EthCC is well underway - some details can be found in the Ethcc activation post.
Strategic partnerships are generally those that are aligned with our Gitcoin = Grants = Growth narrative, are interested in helping us solve problems in the Capital Allocation space (as outlined in detail in our whitepaper) and tend to be complimentary in terms of their services offering.
A great example of this is Tally.xyz who will be our upcoming partners for Schelling Point Sessions: Grants Program Design at EthCC (more details coming soon).
The “vibe” of Schelling Point has changed quite a bit - it used to solely be a home for self-described “Regens”. It has now expanded to include the new “Sessions” format that you attended in Paris to much praise and positive feedback. This format moving forwward will exclusively be focused on grants-centric content.
To get involved in the planning of a Schelling Point right now, I see two routes:
-
Apply for a GCP through the Citizens Innovate grants program
-
In the next couple of months, we’ll be rolling our a Decentralized Schelling Point program for Citizens to run a Schelling Point X (similar to how TED has decentralized their programming). Information about this will be posted to the governance forum once more details have been sorted out (ex: eligibility criteria, amount of funds provided per grant, the purpose of these events and how they relate to Gitcoin’s goals, etc.).
