Will you post that thread you mentioned on the call re: lists of women led initiatives within the ENS Ecosystem? I think it would be helpful to highlight these projects especially ahead of GR15. Here are some projects that myself and @Elle97 are suggesting to keep an eye out on:

  • Shefi
  • She256
  • Ensqueens
  • Womenbuildweb3
  • Surge
  • blu3dao

In regards to reaching out female dev rels as a point of contact, I think it is a good idea we do so now in order to keep the momentum. @alisha.eth had brought up a female dev rel from Graph Protocol. Should we look to her to help direct female led dev projects towards ENS’ GR15 round?

I can add ENSgrows to the list. It’s a weekly newsletter not unlike the ENS DAO Newsletter, but with a emphasis on ENS community builders & developers.

I believe it is lead by dr3a.eth (one of the ENSQueens). I also believe she recently created a GitCoin grant application for GR15.

If any of the projects you named above have a GR15 grant please let me or @3402.eth know, we are doing 10 Twitter spaces for GR15 projects we have 5 scheduled and would like to schedule more female led projects.
