Round 8 - GMC Call for Grant Applications - Deadline is January 14

What grant is being renewed?

Jasper’s Community Call grant.

What work from the previous proposal was completed?

I believe I maintained a biweekly cadence with occasional double-ups to fix missed weeks.

What work from the previous proposal is ongoing or pending?

I will still be hosting calls at the biweekly rate and may be available to Mav for bonus calls as needed.

What work was not originally planned, but completed, if any?

NA

What work is newly slated since the previous proposal?

NA

Are the results of this project entirely open source ([MIT]

Yes

(The MIT License – Open Source Initiative), GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts are not, and why not?

Benefits - enter N/A where appropriate

What metrics can you share on the success of the project?

Calls tend to have 15-20 listeners at a time, with one peaking at over a thousand (Lybra).

In less specific terms, how has this project improved the Rocket Pool ecosystem or benefited the Ethereum ecosystem?

It is a primary advertising arm for the protocol to build partnership relations.

Team

Who has done the work, and have there been any changes to the team?

This is for me, myself, and I.

How have the individual constituents of the team been compensated?

Subjected to the abuses of #trading.

How has maintenance been performed since the delivery of the project?

Mav uploads recordings to YouTube.

Payment and Verification

Have the acceptance criteria been met?

Yes.

What is the proposed payment schedule for the grant? How much RPL and over what period of time is the applicant requesting? Does this differ from the original approved amount?

I am requesting 10 RPL, or an 11% raise from the previous 9 RPL every other week for 6 months. I believe this should be equal to Ken’s rate who also ought to receive a raise.

Is there a measurable Return on Investment for the project?

NA

What is the breakdown of spending on development for the original grant vs. maintenance?

NA

Will the recipient of the grant, or any protocol or project in which the recipient has a vested interest (other than Rocket Pool), benefit financially if the grant is successful?

No
