CCS Coordinator - plowsof
Who?
Hello, plowsof here, I show up and try to be helpful. My previous proposals happened, previously. I would like to make it happen again, and do more of the same things.
What?
- Gather consensus for CCS proposals. (feedback from GitLab/IRC/Reddit).
- Organise bi-weekly meetings to discuss proposals / current events (more if necessary).
- Provide decisions in 1 month or less (Yes/No to being funded or if something has to be changed with the proposal to satisfy our community).
- Be impartial when communicating with CCS proposers - everyone gets a fair shake.
- Checking up on the WIP list to find / fix problems early (e.g. payments overdue or proposers AWOL).
- Take responsibility for the entire CCS process - It's my fault when 'things go wrong'.
- Someone who is online for several hours a day / 7 days a week that knows what's going on.
- Act as a liaison to Core - keep them informed of whats happening / poke them when required / handle their requests.
- As part of this CCS, you will also be sponsoring my work when quality assurance testing new features/bug fixes each release cycle in the GUI, CLI, and RPC wallets.
- And Getmonero.org contributions.
- Consultancy before / during / after the idea stage.
- Secretarial tasks for https://bounties.monero.social/ (requesting payouts upon completion of bounties and such)
Funding
Work for 25 hours per week over the next 3 months (from September to end of November 2024) at a rate of 45€ / hour. At 147.94€ / XMR (90-day EMA) this makes ~99.0 XMR.

Misc
Although 86~ days have passed since the last milestone completion, i've been performing my duties / fulfilling my hourly commitments - lack of good time management has lead to there being too many loose ends (especially for -site) and meeting attendance could be better. I aim to improve this moving forward.

Evolving
Im feeling the urge to drop my
CCS Coordinatortitle / related tasks (other than to keep track of payout requests) and evolve into more of ahelp the projectrole where my time is spent on -site/testing gui/cli things/bounties/generally being online and poking people. We can even have other people rotate hosting bi-weekly meetings.
