Notes by @184.eth

1. General DAO Updates

ETH New York Hackathon

  • Many from the ENS DAO, ENS Labs, and the community attended and participated in the ETH New York Hackathon over the weekend.
  • Stewards asked if anyone identified notable public goods projects, and if so encouraged they reach out to PG Stewards.

frENSday, Devconnect, ETHGlobal Istanbul

  • FrENSday is happening – Go to or ens.day or frensday.ens.domains
    • The first ENS conference in Istanbul, Turkey on the premier day of DevConnect 2023 - tweet.
  • Simona will be a judge at the ETH Istanbul and discussed ideas about how to incorporate public goods into these events.
  • Simona is helping to organise a public goods track at frENSday, which will feature various panels, discussions, and more.
    • There was an idea to showcase stories from small grant winners and participants.
    • And an idea of doing live mini grants during the event.

2. Small Grants Applicant Presentation

Manuel Olariu (ENS | Twitter) from DeSpace QF (Web | Twitter)

  • Manuel came on the call to share details about their project and their submission for the upcoming Public Goods small grants round - here.
    • “DeSpaceQF is a pioneering initiative aimed at fostering growth and innovation within the Decentralized Space Exploration Ecosystem. Leveraging the power of Quadratic Funding, we aim to democratize access to resources, enabling both newcomers and established players to contribute to the advancement of space exploration technologies.”

3. Small Grant Voting Updates

:scroll: ENS September 2023 Small Grants Update
  • Small Grants are still being worked on. While the submission window is technically closed, backfilling continues for those who had issues.
    • The Forum thread above will be updated when progress is made and voting is live. This could go live Thursday.
    • This round’s eligible voters include those who have submitted in past grant rounds, those past voters with at least one $ENS Governance Token, and individuals who have filled out the form mentioned here.
  • PG Stewards have reviewed many Public Goods submissions. Some were duplicates or spam, while others were not Public Goods and were therefore relocated to Ecosystem Small Grants.

4. Open space for additional topics
