🌻 🔴 One Year Anniversary and RetroFunding Brainstorming
Optimism Fractal’s one year anniversary is near and applications for RetroFunding Round 6 are now open. I’ve been thinking about how to make the most of the occasion and am curious to hear your thoughts!
The first Optimism Fractal event took place on October 20th, 2023 and our next two events will occur on October 17th and 24th, followed by the end of Season 4 on October 31st. I suggest that we start the festivities next week and organize a special anniversary celebration on October 24th, potentially with some sort of RetroPitches game that can help the Optimism Collective fairly reward projects that have contributed to Optimism governance.
We’ve made an huge amount of progress over the past year and Optimism Fractal’s products can greatly benefit the Collective, so the celebration can also provide an opportunity to celebrate our achievements together, plan our next steps, and promote the innovative work of Optimism Fractal community members. Perhaps we can find a way to enhance the RetroFunding process around RetroPitches with Tadas’ design for Respect Trees. What do you think? How can Optimism Fractal help the Collective around our one year anniversary?
You can watch the first Optimism Fractal event here and explore our progress over the past year in the videos and show notes from the all other weekly events since then. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Optimism Fractal’s
Thank you very much for the feedback and ideas. There’s a lot to consider here and I’ll respond as soon as possible.
I just brainstormed with Rosmari about discussion topics for the upcoming town hall regarding our the one year anniversary of Optimism Fractal and experimenting with new games/processes during this round of RetroFunding, which could be helpful for figuring out ways that Optimism Fractal community members to get rewarded. I’m thinking about planning to propose a related topic for today’s town hall event where we can discuss ideas around bringing back RetroPitches and your design for Respect Trees.
