Weekly Report #18–2017.11.16
City of Zion (CoZ) is a global community of open source enthusiasts, with the shared goal of helping NEO achieve its full potential. CoZ primarily operates through the community Slack and CoZ Github, central places where the community shares knowledge and contributes to projects.
CoZ is neither a corporation, nor a consulting firm or a devshop / for-hire group.
Governance
There is no formal process in joining CoZ. Interested individuals will have to do the work first, and the submitted code has to be licensed under the MIT License. Consistent contributors will become eligible to join the CoZ organization, and begin collaborating on projects. The governance process of this organization can be found here.
Funding
Since its inception, the CoZ Council has been in close contact with the NEO Council. The NEO Council provides support to the community, in the form of NEO rewards, which CoZ redistributes weekly.
For individuals who are interested in financially supporting CoZ development, our donation address is AXSoNQEKjmqPBNPg5cNrHyWivfjok3Vj9D.
For transparency, CoZ Council members are excluded from weekly NEO rewards, and any CoZ competitions. This week, 341 NEO were awarded for the following contributions to the NEO ecosystem.
Week in Review
Announcement
This week, we are pleased to announce that a second CoZ Council member, Ashley Rolleston (ashant in Slack) will begin full-time commitment to the NEO ecosystem. With his wealth of experience in software engineering, Ashley will be focused on improving the testing of Neo, and a ground-up rewrite of the core code in C# — A new CoZ initiative named ‘neo-sharp’
In the future, we look forward in supporting more community developers, and allowing them to develop on Neo full-time.
