Polkadot Builder Collective

The Fellowship program (highly functional, what this most every ranked collective would like to be initially modeled after) I’m sure should NOT be messed with but should inspire the direct design by like forking the code. The Polkadot Alliance has no on-chain regular activity that I’m aware of (share if otherwise) but probably should form into a Parachain Fellowship encompassing all parachains (I think it was discussed and outside my domain of purview). Those are literally the only 2 collectives, and the only actual functioning one is the Fellowship itself, afaik.

On the Developer Heroes program and the Polkadot Ambassador program, from the CRM-like way it operates, We should attempt to seed the collective with builders from those groups and connect the dots, definitely! And I’m sure we can try something new in a decentralized futures way learning from the people who managed it before – you want to take the lead on that?

We’d like to manage it BETTER with a collective, and work with others doing similar things like Easybuild and Evan Thomas on social media. I think there will be more. I think it will be difficult to accommodate every single team and fit a PBC into a Giant Map of Decentralization Activities – very useful/important (and I hope someone does it!), but … it will be very fuzzy for a while and not essential to have perfect boundaries on charters. Does that make sense? Or, where do we need a top-down way of thinking being critical?

At this point, we would like to have bottoms-up learning following this. Perhaps a call in December after we tinker a bit with whatever is on Westend would be appropriate?
