TEC Working Groups Weekly Update

Monday, November 1, 2021

  • End of Sprint 20 marks 40 weeks of working together
  • As always, check out our TEC Timeline here; and our TEC Handbook here
  • Also, our TEC Retrospective Miro board is open for everyone to see. In it we visualize in-house empirical findings: what has gone well, what can be done better, and what specific actions we can take to keep progressing successfully
  • We are refining our Steward Offboarding process so that there every 6 months there’s a natural expiration of Stewardship as well as an opportunity to renew the Stewardship
  • Glance over our latest Medium article, written by Nate and titled “Commons Upgrade Preparation, 1st HatchDAO Vote, and Community Events”
  • Our ongoing DAO Book Club which meets every Saturday at 10 AM CET in their very own Discord server
