Hypha/Informal Oversight Kickoff Meeting

Introduction As part of Proposal #839 ( Fund 2024 Hub development by Informal Systems and Hypha Worker Co-op ), Informal and Hypha will be meeting with their 2024 Oversight Committee each quarter to go over plans and reflections for the quarter. The 2024 Oversight Committee consists of: • Stride contributor: Aidan Salzmann • Neutron contributor: Avril Dutheil • Polkachu representative: Polkachu • Jim Parillo at Figment Capital • Shane Vitarana at Stargaze • James Hinck, Product Manager at Circle This is a summary of the Hypha/Informal 2024 Oversight committee meeting which took place on January 8th 2024. The oversight committee asked many questions about the plan, which we have paraphrased here. All members of the oversight committee have reviewed and approved this document prior to posting. The document is organized into 3 sections- Informal’s Q1 plan, Hypha’s Q1 plan, and then a summarized transcript about the discussion that took place. We’re still figuring out the format for report on this so let us know how you like it. Navigation • Informal Q1 2024 Plan • Maintenance • Testing • Research and Development • Expected challenges •…

Thanks for posting @lexa and thanks to the oversight committee members for their commitment to the Cosmos Hub.

Will have a proper read over the weekend, but just want to drop a quick note to say:

• thanks for keeping your “campaign” promises
• making this report detailed
• esp thanks for the q&a
• and based on the q&a, thanks for oversight committee for not just “rubber stamping”

Confidence restored in Hub’s community funding props (I know you haven’t “delivered” the work yet, but I can see commitment to delivery and accountability).

Special props to @lexa who no doubt was person who probably wrote 80% of this (grateful to the rest of the teams too off course)

Also, since there will be at least 3 more of these + other community funding recipients should write reports too, can the forum get a dedicated section for these? Not just filed under “Misc”?

Nice and detailed report

Are there any BD efforts to onboard Crescent as a PSS chain?

Firstly, we want to extend our appreciation for the transparency report provided by the oversight. Given the considerable effort invested in creating this detailed post, we couldn’t help but consider whether having both a summary (similar to this post) and a video recording (or just an audio podcast) for us to review the entire meeting might be more effective. Despite the high level of technicality involved, we are confident that the community would appreciate hearing directly from the teams.

Maybe to save time and to concentrate Hypha further on their job, someone from the review committee could organize a twitter hangout or whatever once per month to go over all the updates

I’ve had some new categories created:

• Proposal updates (for this sort of post)
• AADAO
• AEZ with Neutron and Stride subcategories

Hopefully this tidies things up a bit!

As for recording, we want to be sensitive to the privacy of the committee members. Summarizing the Q&A is not a heavy workload as we need to save that info for guiding our work anyway.
