This week was all about shared learnings and collaboration at RightMesh. We had a combination of internal workshops and advisory sessions with Lead Mesh Networking Scientist, Lucien Loiseau and Left (parent company of the RightMesh project) CTO, Rakib Islam and our Strategic Advisor Alyse Killeen throughout the week. Our team gave back by providing technical workshops within our community.

Product and Tech

  • Platform Roadmap: Our team created a detailed workbook on the platform roadmap that was shared with all of our development team this week. On Thursday the team sat down for a very productive Q&A session that has brought us closer to finalization of the roadmap.
  • DTN Proposal: Lucien Loiseau, our Lead Mesh Networking Scientist conducted both a workshop and update on the DTN proposal.

  • App Project Planning: With Left’s (the RightMesh project parent company) CTO, Rakib Islam and W3 Engineers Ltd CTO, Sabbir Ahmed, in the Vancouver office, the product team came together to discuss new app projects to be built in Bangladesh over the coming months.
  • Partnerships: We had a lot of interesting discussions this week with potential collaborative projects. It has been exciting discussing their specific needs for RightMesh technology — including a digital money app used in emerging markets, a decentralized voting protocol, an image verification platform, and an offline content-based application.
  • Scaling Workshop: Rakib led a workshop on how to scale a development team in terms of growth and security.

RightLabs

The user research workshops continued this week with our teams in Bangladesh and Canada focusing on user interviews.

TGE Progress

Our team has been minting tokens in preparation for them being unpaused to make sure that all tokens are released to the right people and at the right time. We will be providing our community notice prior to un-pausing our tokens within our Telegram Channel.

We also had our strategic advisor Alyse Killeen visiting from LA. She met with each of our RightMesh team members to discuss their roles and how she can assist to them moving forward. Alyse was an integral part of our TGE and it is invaluable to have her support in creating our strategic plan moving forward.
