  • Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining

I am a long time proponent and supporter open-source development efforts across a range of fields. When I stumbled across Gitcoin a while back, my values immediately aligned and immediately became active both as a grant supporter and grant recipient, amongst other things. That was way back in GR3, if memory serves. Ultimately, I became a KB2 alum.

I am an adamant Blockchain4Good supporter and an active member in the Public Goods ecosystem. At the same time, I’m interested in work sovereignty, governance, and regenerative economies, for starters. All aligned with Gitcoin’s values, and accessible through the Gitcoin platform.

I believe in Gitcoin. Period. It would be an honor & super cool to be part of the fabric building the open and funding the open web.

I’ve been in the digital asset fundraising space since 2018, launching perhaps the first and maybe even only Crypto PTA (that I can find, and would love to find more, plz!). For those unawares, a PTA is a Parent-Teacher Association and quite common here in the U.S.

What started as Happy Kids Dirty Hands eventually evolved to AmwFund, a 501c3 registered non-profit. We are using Digital Assets to Bridge Institutional Funding Gaps in Public Education.

I currently run 2 sub-projects under the AmwFund banner, both of which ultimately aim to benefit our digital asset revenue stream.

I have a generalized skillset that likely leads itself to PM and Community Management type work, but dabble in many of the potential pieces ranging from tech to governance to communications. My interests are wide (token economics, regenerative economies, digital public goods) and feel could bring some utilitarian value to the community. However helps Gitcoin decentralize and grow.

Statement of intention: with Ethereum as a substrate, we have an unprecedented ability to coordinate around mechanisms that allocate funding where it’s needed. I think this is an important question, and have devoted much of my time at the Ethereum Foundation exploring different ways of going about this. I believe Gitcoin has a unique opportunity to push forward in this design space and bootstrap community support into new mechanisms it deploys. I would be happy to contribute in thinking through this, and connect the dots with other ecosystem stakeholders where helpful.

Web3 qualifications:
I previously led engineering at Truebit, a L2 protocol on Ethereum.
I now work on ecosystem development at the Ethereum Foundation - where public goods funding is a primary focus.

Tuyên bố Ý định / Giá trị của tôi & Lý do Tham gia:

Tôi muốn tham gia chương trình Quản lý Gitcoin và các quy trình quản trị vì tôi thấy Gitcoin siêu thú vị theo đuổi cách thức phi tập trung hơn và chủ yếu do cộng đồng sở hữu để được quản lý. Việc cung cấp cho các Thành viên cộng đồng và Gitcoin để giúp thu hẹp con đường của Gitcoin là nơi mà sự phấn khích của tôi phù hợp với mục tiêu của Gitcoin là trở thành Quảng trường thị trấn cho Ethereum Devs. Tôi đã tham gia Cộng đồng Ethereum và gần gũi với Ethereum Devs từ đầu năm 2019 và tôi là người hâm mộ Gitcoin kể từ khi tôi tìm thấy về nó rất sớm trên con đường tiền điện tử của tôi. Tôi tin rằng với tư cách là một Cộng đồng, chúng ta có thể thúc đẩy sứ mệnh của Gitcoin về phát triển Nguồn mở hơn nữa, tìm thêm cơ hội cho các nhà phát triển mới học bằng cách điền vào Nhiệm vụ, tìm kiếm hợp đồng biểu diễn đầu tiên của họ bằng cách tham gia Bounties, sau đó bằng cách gây quỹ thông qua Gitcoin Grants .

Tôi có những Bằng cấp / Kỹ năng Web3 nào:

Kinh nghiệm của tôi với các cộng đồng tiền điện tử khác nhau đã giúp tôi tin tưởng vào cộng đồng. Tôi đã làm việc chủ yếu xoay quanh các sự kiện, hoạt động, xây dựng cộng đồng, quản lý mạng xã hội, viết bài quảng cáo với các dự án Ethereum khác nhau. Giáo dục các nhà tổ chức Ethereum Meetup, là người nắm giữ đũa thần trong Ethereum Magicians hỗ trợ cộng đồng và gần đây đang làm việc trên đàn mèo xung quanh nghiên cứu NFT Standard. Một số dự án mà tôi đã giúp tỏa sáng: Ethereum Magicians, Superfluid, Bitfwd, Sigma Prime (ứng dụng khách ETH2.0 Lighthouse), dHEDGE và một số đóng góp nhỏ hơn ở đây và ở đó trong các dự án khác.

Hầu hết sự tham gia của tôi vào các dự án khác nhau là cung cấp thông tin chi tiết về các dự án, giúp đơn giản hóa các hoạt động và quy trình, ghi chú từ các cuộc gọi và giúp đỡ bất cứ khi nào tôi thấy có cơ hội đóng góp.

Cá nhân tôi rất muốn được tham gia với Gitcoin vì tôi đã giúp đưa ra một số câu hỏi về Quản trị liên quan đến quản trị, thúc đẩy và đóng góp cho Phát triển nguồn mở là niềm đam mê của tôi kể từ khi tôi bước vào lỗ hổng tiền điện tử.

Gitcoin đã sâu đậm hơn trong trái tim tôi kể từ khi họ ra mắt Kudos và tôi đã cố gắng thu được hầu hết các NFT kudos có trong đợt tặng quà hôm thứ Sáu. Nhờ có Gitcoin, Ethereum Magicians có thể điều hành các hoạt động của mình và hỗ trợ cộng đồng.

Tôi tin rằng, với tâm trí hướng tới cộng đồng, phân quyền, cộng tác, chúng tôi có thể định hướng con đường của Gitcoin để trở thành giao thức hoàn toàn thuộc sở hữu của cộng đồng và cải thiện các quy trình khi đang di chuyển. Tôi thích tác động của Gitcoin đối với Cộng đồng nguồn mở và Hệ sinh thái Ethereum, mong muốn có được vị trí trong Hội đồng quản lý.

Cảm ơn Gitcoin đã làm cho Mã nguồn mở rộng hơn

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:

I’ve long shared the gitcoin ethos, one of the hardest things for me starting in defi was trying to get funding for audits or even deployments. Gitcoin itself helped me cover significant costs and allowed me to build most of the projects I have launched. Going forward I wish to continue paying it forward.

Open source funding can easily be abused sadly, so I want to offer my technical expertise and insights to help identify high quality candidates and offer mentorship, while pointing out the opportunists.

I dabble a bit in smart contracts and solidity.

Decentralization, collaboration, and digital identity are important to me. I have a passion for building teams and leading them to victory, championing psychological safety, experimentation, and autonomy. I believe that when you choose to work together, you can achieve monumentally more. Like pirates forming an open navy, I want to be part of this with other good people who care about improving the world, together.

Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills

Most of my background has been in product in some capacity. I serve in civic tech now as a Product Manager and strategist. I have over 10 years experience with product, design, business development and strategy. I understand how to find balance between business requirements, team requirements, and user requirements, and I take great pride in rapid prototyping to establish a baseline, and creating systems that scale. I am on a quest to apply my skills to web3 full time, and currently serve as a Chair on the Open Metaverse Interoperability group, and founded AngellXR, an open community dedicated to co-creating the open metaverse.

Other skills, I bring energy wherever I go. I can guarantee, I’ll at very least brighten your day. I think that’s a skill. I also curate a open source list of webxr projects called xrshowcase.xyz which we use to celebrate open xr contributors.

    I don’t think there’s any other project in the space that is more strongly aligned with my values (next to the ones I’ve already worked with). People will join the decentralized movement because they will be drawn in by - let’s face it - the money, the bling bling. And this is okay. But this is just the first step, next is to inform them on why they should stick around and pull back the curtain. To truly empower people we need to fund the infrastructure that will support communities in the long run, and go beyond the short-term scarcity mindset. Open source is at the very core of blockchain technology and I think not enough people yet realize what the potential impact can be on the mindset of our entire civilization.
    In our current economic model open source will never be funded, because it is impossible to build a direct profit / value-extraction model around it. For this reason it is the very first thing that needs to be ‘secured’: without open source a decentralized model simply will not work, it will just be incorporated by the powers that be. It will become an empty shell. Creating sustainable open source models is the essential foundation we need, the next will be to fund and support any public good, any project that is essential for our and our planet’s survival. Our current economic models do not only undervalue, but ignore public goods on purpose.
    Let’s change this. Let’s build our future.

Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining:

I’m interested to join Gitcoin Stewardship program and governance processes as I find super interesting Gitcoin pursuing more decentralised and mainly community owned way to be govern. Giving the Community Members, and Gitcoin OGs to help out narrowing path of the Gitcoin is where my excitement aligns with the goals of Gitcoin being a Town Square for Ethereum Devs. I been around the Ethereum Community and close to Ethereum Devs since early 2019 and I’m fan of Gitcoin since I found about it which was very early on my crypto path. I believe that as a Community we can drive Gitcoin’s mission about Open Source development further, find more opportunities for new-coming developers to learn by filling out Quests, find their first gig by participating on Bounties, later on by fund-raising via Gitcoin Grants.

What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I have:

My experience with various crypto communities has earned me trust in the community. I have been working mainly around events, operations, community building, social media management, copywriting with various Ethereum projects. Educating Ethereum Meetup organisers, being the the magic wand holder in Ethereum Magicians supporting the community, and lately working on herding the cats around NFT Standard research. Some of the projects that I helped shine: Ethereum Magicians, Superfluid, Bitfwd, Sigma Prime (ETH2.0 Lighthouse client), dHEDGE, and a couple of smaller contributions here and there in other projects.

Most of my involvement in various projects is in giving insights to projects, helping simplify the operations and processes, taking notes from calls and helping where ever I see the opportunity to contribute.

Personally I would love to be involved with Gitcoin as I helped give some of the Governance questions regarding governance, stepping up and contributing to Open Source Development has been my passion since I have entered the crypto rabbit hole.

Gitcoin has been deeper in my heart since they launched Kudos and I managed to snag the most of the kudos NFT that were in Friday’s giveaway. Thanks to Gitcoin Ethereum Magicians are able to run their activities and supporting the community.

I believe, with the mind oriented towards community, decentralisation, collaboration we can guided Gitcoin’s road to become fully community owned protocol and improve the processes on the go. I love the impact that Gitcoin has on the Open Source Community and Ethereum Ecosystem, looking forward to get spot in the Stewards Council.

Thank you Gitcoin Team for making Open Source more accessible :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I firmly believe the efficiency of systems has to go hand in hand with equity. Well, the criteria for the measurement of efficiency is debatable, isn’t it? The progress of civilization should be measured by the accessibility to the services for all individuals, and not only but total societal wealth. This can only be done if we expand the sphere of public goods. The objectives and the underlying values of Gitcoin are in line with my own views. I believe I can contribute to the discussion on public goods and digital assets/ products/ services from the point of view of an economist.

    I am an economist with a PhD engaged in volunteering after retiring early. I have worked with several international organizations including the World Bank. As for my Web3 qualifications, I am relatively new to Ethereum. I have intermediate programming skills in Python and R for data science.
