Hi team:

We had our first formal team meeting today. Here are my notes from the chat, and I welcome anyone else to chime in or offer corrections (this post is a wiki).

# Attendees:

- @amico
- @beanow
- @burrrata
- @decentralion
- @jwaup
- @LB
- @s_ben
- @anon60584824

# Moderator:

- @decentralion

# Agenda:

- @decentralion shared their plans to transition CredSperiment grain minting to be a fixed grain-per-cred (post forthcoming)
  - @beanow asked if this introduced risks that the project would have more Grain issued than demand to purchase it at $1/Grain

- @beanow brought up [Retroactive Initialization](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/retroactive-initialization-pre-requisite-to-distributing-a-lot-more-grain/359) now that the Initiatives plugin has shipped
  - We discussed how turning on fixed grain-per-cred distributions will create a strong incentive to get retroactive initialization up-and-running
  - @amico proposed that initiative champions can budget cred flows for their initiatives. Not clear how we’d regulate this, though
  - We discussed how it’s difficult to come up with specific cred values for a given initiative.
  - We decided to move this discussion into asynchronous Discourse discussion

- @anon60584824 shared progress on the github cred-action. It just needs a few reviews to move forward
  - @beanow agreed to be “review champion” to make sure @anon60584824 is unblocked

- @beanow and @decentralion discussed the “[quality of life](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/productivity-quality-of-life-for-instance-maintainers/651)” initiative that @beanow is championing and agree that it’s high priority
- @decentralion will be working on building a grain ledger and UI (initiative to come)
- @decentralion collected feedback from participants:

> - People liked the meeting and found it valuable
> - Hour might be too short?
> - Might be good to have agenda items submitted in advance
> - Liked having hard time boundaries on sub discussions (moving on from minting discussion) and holding to the hour deadline
> - Can “spill over” into side rooms afterwards
> - Like the idea of scheduled subject-specific meetings afterwards

We decided to keep using this format for the next few team weeks and see how it evolves. We also ended on time. 🙂
