The District Weekly — June 23rd, 2018

News and updates from the district0x Network

The focus of this project has always been, and will always continue to be to deliver on the goals set forth in the original white paper. The nature of a truly open source project is something that some have a tough time grasping, and tends to flip conventional business strategy on its head. With completely transparent updates on a weekly basis, progress may seem slow, however it is these incremental building blocks that eventually lead to a beautifully designed, community oriented, expertly engineered product. Our community manager summed up this idea nicely —

“You get to see every little iterative step forward, which may seem boring at times but it in no way means we aren’t making progress. It simply means you get to see the internal ebb and flow of progress which is not always fireworks and light shows.”

On that note, this past week the team ironed out on a very granular level the interoperability of districts within the registry. Open sourcing operations documentation continues to be a large focus and we are looking forward to sharing this library of knowledge on our internal processes. We are nearly ready to launch our Education Portal after putting the finishing touches on some videos and articles. Deliverables are being generated for our newly hired devs and we will be happy to announce more about them after onboarding is finalized. And lastly, smart contract auditors are being vetted and asked to provide quotes for auditing the Meme Factory smart contracts library.

As always, we welcome constructive feedback from the community, and look forward to the coming weeks and months ahead.
