tl;dr
End of June, my funding from the previous campaign will expire.
This is a request for a 3 month extension (Jul - Sep 2020) in order for me to continue to be able to support Grin with the type of contributions I’ve been doing since 2019.
My rate remains the same: GBP £2,500/month.
I’m however making a one-off deduction of GBP £542.77 to account for previous funding discrepancies that resulted due to movements in x-rates in-between conversion and payment. Hoping it’s going to be avoided moving forward.
I’ll be adding this request to the agenda for the Jun 30 Governance meeting.
Motivation
The original motivation still holds true today:
Beyond work on the main grin (node/wallet/miner) repositories, work on the admin side of the project has evolved over the past year. The /grin-pm repo is now a place where we track general project management issues, meeting notes, event presentations, financial data, and more.
I think this work adds value and is important for the project’s health, for it’s good governance, and for progress to be made faster.
Grin would get reliable and consistent support for the non-development related tasks, that would help achieve its potential quicker.
