Meeting with other Fund 5 Cohort members agreed to collaborate on sharing Catalyst Fund data and progress with IOHK. Began tracking Fund 5, Developer Ecosystem Proposal - Governance (https://stephen-rowan.gitbook.io/quality-assurance-dao/catalyst-proposals/fund-5-developer-ecosystem-proposal-governance )

Describe two significant setbacks, obstacles, or failures you had this month and what you learned from each (regardless of whether or not you solved them).

Lack of response from IOHK by email on changes to onboarding data and Collaboration with IOHK. I learnt that email might not be the most effective way to contact IOHK - will try Telegram. Also aware that this is a very busy time for IOHK.

Is your Proposal in Fund2, Fund3, Fund4 or Fund5?

How many developers did your proposal engage?

34 in April 2021 Open Source Survey

Thanks to your proposal, How many developers were successfully onboarded to develop software on top of Cardano? *

Uncertain

Did anyone from the community provide you help? Give a shoutout to those who deserve it.

Everyone involved with the Open Source Survey ( https://github.com/Quality-Assurance-DAO/F5-Developer-ecosystem-Proposal/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22FeedbackChallenge+%3A+Open+Source%22). I will provide a more accessible summary in "Feedback Challenge : Open-Source Assessment Report".

Any other metric to share about outcomes?

Metrics and Reporting on Governance outcomes depends upon collaboration with IOHK. As I wish to document and report on 1) The pathway of a funded cohort and 2) An assessment of funded cohort reporting requirements.

Any status report you would like to share?

Governance of the Quality-Assurance DAO , Fund 5, Developer Ecosystem Proposal is being documented in this section of the QA-DAO GitBook (https://stephen-rowan.gitbook.io/quality-assurance-dao/catalyst-proposals/fund-5-developer-ecosystem-proposal-governance ). I will try to align my reporting to the biweekly schedule.

Cohort Report #2

22nd September 2021

Hi there - I (QA-DAO) completed the new Progress Report without any issues. For anyone interested completion of the old and new forms can be compared on my GitBook : Old Form (https://stephen-rowan.gitbook.io/quality-assurance-dao/fund-5-proposals/fund-5-developer-ecosystem-governance-detail#cohort-progress-report-1 ) and New Form (https://stephen-rowan.gitbook.io/quality-assurance-dao/fund-5-proposals/fund-5-developer-ecosystem-governance-detail#cohort-progress-report-2). All my cohort reporting is documented here - from the onboarding form onwards. I plan to use these materials to illustrate and provide commentary on the funded cohort experience. All the best S.
