Developer Advisory Board Feedback & Ideas Thread

Hey everybody, we had our first DAB community call on August 13th. We discussed ideas on how the DAB could be helpful, including but not limited to its current responsibilities. Here is a summary of those ideas; if I missed yours, or if you want to add clarity, please reply! Also, an open invitation to the community: we are actively seeking ideas, and we’d love to hear from you in this thread.

Aug 13 DAB Community Call Summary

Idea 1: @alexsotodigital

  • Should be an org chart: a visual description of how the different groups are interconnected, and who you need to talk with if you want to get to know any circle.
  • Has mockup, and started forum thread.
  • What help do you need from DAB?
    • Website where you can zoom in/out, different tabs, link to contact details or calendar.
  • @wbnns: Put it into a structured data format!
  • See thread here: A case for the organizational chart

Idea 2: @katie

  • Help out with RetroPGF 5!
  • Could be a big help to any voters who aren’t super technical.
  • Aside: @tynes wanting more product support for interop.

Idea 3: @LauNaMu

  • Security Council should collab with DAB on emergency response on technical level (as not all Security Council are technical)

Idea 4: @hyperstructured.greg

  • Formal Verification: he partners with OP Labs on Formal Verification, but wants more support from the Foundation.
  • Reach out to @Gonna.eth

Idea 5: @LauNaMu

  • craft mission requests next time (responsible for talking to OP Labs, understanding roadmap, and building MRs around that)
  • @Gonna.eth suggested DAB should be in both intent 1 and 3.
  • @tynes has some ideas about interop mission requests, and Gonna would love if DAB put them up to vote.
  • Lau asks us to craft our own mission request but also to help other people crafting theirs.

Idea 6: @smartcontracts

  • DAB should be in R&D discord.

Idea 7: @wbnns

  • DAB office hours as a way to help applicants make their applications more robust.

Idea 8: @LauNaMu

  • Once grants cycles are ramped up, what are the main pain points we’ve observed not only on one of the teams but several of the teams that if addressed could increase the quality of builders in the whole OP ecosystem?
  • If we see some opportunity to build something that’s then an unlock for multiple teams, we should shout it out. Could be part of the end of season retrospective.
