We are in the process of confirming the two developers that will work full time alongside Justin on the Rise codebase.
On top of that we are hiring an extra person who will take on an "executive director" postition. His role will be to demonstrate Rise to organisations and showcase the potential of blockchain technology in real world applications using the Rise platform. Full public profile will be included in the next update along with more details of what our executive director will be aiming to achieve.
To quote Justin from earlier today in Slack:
We are finishing up legal reviews, business and financial paperwork, finding office space, HR, and all of the other stuff that goes with running a business. Once everyone is fully onboard, and all of our paperwork is in place, we will modify the roadmap and start executing on that roadmap.
Twitter Bounty:Over 200 payments have gone out and we'll get caught up with the rest of submissions by Sunday.
Rise Forum:An independant forum dedicated to Rise is on it's way and should be released tomorrow we just have some content and graphical touches to add, so when they come in we can make the forum live.
PR and Marketing:We have an intitial marketing budget for the next six months that will allow for attending and speaking at conferences to spread the word about Rise and what we are doing in this space. The marketing budget will be reassessed at the end of the half year period and there will be adjustments made for the next 6 months as needed. Articles and press releases are on the way. An article is expected in the next week that includes an interview with lead developer Justin.
To recap, the focus atm is in getting the right structure in place to set Rise up for a solid future.
