Maintenance.
In this section, maintenance activities are carried out on the main infrastructure of the Foundation, such as servers, computer equipment, and other electronic devices that the Foundation uses for its daily operations.
The two main developers of the Foundation actively participate in these activities.
As a noteworthy mention of these regular tasks, it is worth noting the training provided to Treasurer Mr. Alfonso Navarro Nuñez by Vocal David E. Perez, so that he could understand the technological infrastructure and make use of it.
DCF MaxCoin Mining and IPFS Node Increase.
10th to 12th February. During these days, the Vocal David E. Perez was tasked with installing, testing, and operating the cryptocurrency miners that were donated by members of the MaxCoin community and the Decentralized Climate Foundation. Along with experts in electronic engineering, they undertook this activity.
Finance.
The Finance section can be found in Annex 5, which details the income, expenses, and expenditures made by the foundation throughout the month.
Current Projects.
In this section, we showcase the projects we are currently involved in.
We are currently working with our first intern, who is helping us with the documentation of internal processes of the Foundation.
They have satisfactorily completed various courses and workshops that have been imparted to them in order to understand the internal processes of the Foundation, so they can start the process of maintaining the technological infrastructure.
They were given courses and workshops on Git and version control using Github, Gitflow, and an introduction to Web3, IPFS, and other tools.
We are also reviewing the financial situation with the Board of Directors to make the best economic decisions while we are resolving the paperwork with the Mexican federal government.
Future goals and objectives.
The Foundation has several projects and objectives that it plans to carry out in the future. One of them is the DECA 2 project, which consists of updating diagrams and documentation by NSI to request an economic stimulus from CONACyT. This project includes the elimination of carbon credits from cryptocurrency processes, updating MVP information, updating the working model between NSI and the Foundation, and creating an agreement between DCF and NSI.
Another project that the Foundation has in mind is the IHS company’s MVP, for which necessary information is being researched to develop it.
Additionally, the Foundation is working on financing options, where there are two viable options: CLUNI and CONACyT scholarship. Both are government agencies, but they have different procedures and the Foundation plans to use them to obtain resources for technological development.
These are some of the projects that the Foundation has planned for the future and expects to complete in the coming months.
🎯 Conclusions and Recommendations.
In summary, over the course of February we have made significant progress in achieving the objectives of our foundation. We conducted fundraising activities and identified opportunities to improve our internal management. Additionally, we organized and updated our donor database.
Regarding recommendations, we consider it crucial to continue working on fundraising to finance current projects and to improve efficiency in managing the foundation’s resources to maximize its impact. Finally, we suggest continuing to update and organize the donor database, which will allow for more effective and long-lasting relationships with our collaborators.
In conclusion, we believe that this month has been very productive for our foundation and we are confident that by following these recommendations, we can achieve our short- and long-term objectives.
