Proposal - 2024 Proposal V2

Please see below:

[Discussion][RGP-20] - Grants Org Proposal 2024 - V2

Grants Org Proposal 2024 Note: this is a V2 after feedback on the proposal here. Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to elevate the scope of Grants as the main body that manages the technical funding behind Radworks’s broader mission: Radworks is a community dedicated to cultivating internet freedom. In a world that almost entirely relies on software, maintaining the resilience and health of the free and open source ecosystem is more important than ever. We strive to demonstrate the via…

Quarterly Goals

Recruiting

Objective: onboard grantees to more permanent work within the Radicle ecosystem.

Results: without our 2024 Proposal passed, this goal is at risk, as we may lose some/all contributors from Yorgos’s team.

Dogfooding

Objective:

• Switch 100% of grants over to Drips
• Switch 100% of our documents over to Radicle (code collab)

Results:

• 100% of our grants this quarter have been funded with Drips.
• We have not switched our repository over to Radicle. We plan on dogfooding the GitHub Migration tool once that grant is completed.

Drip to Dependencies

Objective: allocate 4% (40,000 USDC) of budget to Drips balance + drip to 4 dependencies as outlined here

Results: we completed this as part of the Radworks Drip Proposal that funded the Drips here .

Community Input for Grants

Objective: integrate with GitCoin Round Manager or some other quadratic vote/funding mechanism to open some % of our budget to community input for grant funding.

Results: still researching GitCoin and others like CharmVerse. Looking to test these out post-ETHCC.

Timeline & Budget Update (include in written update only)

We have expended 99% of our budget, with roughly 4,000 USDC out of the 1,000,000 originally budgeted.

Until the Grants Org’s 2024 proposal is approved, we will be ineffective.
