Retrospectives
The first two retrospectives were completed (1 Sockets Contributors, 1 Open Community Call). Our goal for Cycle 2 is to run 4 Retros. Outputs from retros here:
The following are action items coming out of the retros and will be delivered in Cycle 2:
Issue | Action |
---|---|
Sockets mechanism + opportunities arenโt widespread | Improved materials and highlight sockets more so people see the opportunity + contribute |
Contributors want more opportunities for collaboration + feedback | Updated call cadences; bi-monthly v0 tech calls facilitated by Matteo |
Need for better communication and regular updates | Updated communication cadence; Zak to share an updated comms schedule |
More insight into protocol development | Updated communication cadence; Matteo & Zak to work on a dev-log like update |
Consolidation of channels for comms, better signal to noise for all parties | Audit on software, channels + discussion around consolidation coming from Zak + PNF |
