<PRE>February 2018 Zcash Foundation Update
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Dear ZcF General Subscribers,
|
|
|
|
In an effort to provide greater visibility into the Zcash Foundation,
|
|
I'll be writing end-of-the-month updates on our work by posting to
|
|
this list. Attempting a monthly cadence, but may adjust as we learn.
|
|
|
|
Without further adieu, here are the updates for the month of February,
|
|
in no particular order:
|
|
|
|
I was appointed Executive Director, in addition to preparing and
|
|
presenting a vision/roadmap doc to the Board. More info in the blog
|
|
post: <A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//blog/exec-director-and-roadmap/">https://z.cash.foundation//blog/exec-director-and-roadmap/</A> I'm
|
|
really excited to represent the Zcash Foundation and looking forward
|
|
to our work this year.
|
|
|
|
Powers of Tau continues! It's been coordinated on a Foundation mailing
|
|
list, though all credit for organizing and maintaining goes to Sean
|
|
Bowe and Jason Davies. There's still time to participate—if you're
|
|
interested, join the mailing list here:
|
|
<A HREF="https://lists.z.cash.foundation/pipermail/zapps-wg/">https://lists.z.cash.foundation/pipermail/zapps-wg/</A> and request to
|
|
participate.
|
|
|
|
We are beginning the planning process for the 2018Q2 grant program. We
|
|
have $125k slated for the program this time around, but the amount may
|
|
be increased with some outside support. Draft Q2 grant process
|
|
available here:
|
|
<A HREF="https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2018Q2/tree/draft.">https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2018Q2/tree/draft.</A>
|
|
Feedback is most welcome!
|
|
|
|
Additionally, we have encouraged 2017Q4 grant recipients to post their
|
|
updates to this list; Guarda and Coincentrix have been quite
|
|
communicative either here or on GitHub—other grant receivers, if
|
|
you're reading this, please consider posting. ;)
|
|
|
|
We have been diligently planning Zcon0—our first conference, and what
|
|
we're hoping will be the preeminent event on privacy technology in
|
|
cryptocurrencies. It's June 25th-28th in Montreal, and if you're
|
|
interested attending, the application is available here:
|
|
<A HREF="https://z.cash.foundation//zcon/">https://z.cash.foundation//zcon/</A>
|
|
|
|
As part of the Zcon0, we're going to certify votes from the community
|
|
to determine new board members and elect (or reject) current board
|
|
members. There's long discussion on the governance issue available
|
|
here: <A HREF="https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/56">https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/56</A> ,
|
|
but at the conclusion of that debate Zcash Foundation Board Chairman
|
|
Andrew Miller posted this governance election proposal:
|
|
<A HREF="https://github.com/amiller/ZcashFoundation/blob/election/election-proposal.md">https://github.com/amiller/ZcashFoundation/blob/election/election-proposal.md</A>
|
|
. As you might have guessed by now, feedback is very much welcome,
|
|
either here or on GitHub!
|
|
|
|
We've been actively pursuing hires for protocol development, web
|
|
contracting, and communications—either full time or contractors.
|
|
Pertinent GitHub Issues here:
|
|

|
|
<A HREF="https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/54">https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/ZcashFoundation/issues/54</A> . If you
|
|
have any interest, please reach out to me directly (this address: josh
|
|
[at] z.cash.foundation).
|
|
|
|
Thanks all,
|
|
|
|
Josh Cincinnati
|
|
Executive Director, Zcash Foundation
