[benhylau]

This is Take from the 2018 IPFS grant for my related work up to Dec 15.

Grant administration

Received money from IPFS and decided with contributors about allocation of funds and started Take sheet.

Package workshop materials

Set up CI for official releases of mesh-orange workshop images and more options for people to build custom images.

• IPFS grant admin #72

Curriculum collaborations

Remote collaborations

• Had a couple calls that @darkdrgn2k also attended, with Florida Polytechnic, to get them set up on workshop facilitation and discuss collaboration opportunities around local meshnets
• First call with Palo Alto Library, next steps uncertain but details captured in meeting notes

This looks good!

That said, I'm not sure what the criteria I'm supposed to be evaluating this are based on. I've reviewed the link to the repo linked at the top.

Is it that as soon as one person approves than the take is okay? or once merged? (and then what are the merge criteria?)

In this case seems totally fine to go ahead, but may be worth moving those instructions into this doc and clarifying?

Also the pattern of having a repo for the ssbc grants v. having this all in one take file is something I'm not sure about.

@dcwalk Here it references the same process as the SSBC grant distribution: https://github.com/benhylau/ssbc-grants-scuttlemesh#funds-distribution

Once your Take Request gets two +1's from other collaborators on the list, @benhylau will send you the requested amount to the address and merge your Pull Request.

For example:
benhylau/ssbc-grants-scuttlemesh#23 (comment)

Slight difference here being the CAD instead of ETHdistribution, so I think the receiver should merge once they receive a cheque. In my case, I won't write myself a cheque since the money is already in my personal account. So once I get two +1's I will just merge it.

Also the pattern of having a repo for the ssbc grants v. having this all in one take file is something I'm not sure about.

While doing SSBC grant's tracking, the cross-referencing of issues and PRs also caused a lot of confusion. Issues are tracked here already, so I hope we start with this and can move tracking sheet later on if needed, as I said here: #72 (comment)
