Intro
PatNovaJoy has been organizing biweekly Eden Fractal Brainstorming Sessions to help the community make decisions since late 2022. Topics are added to the mindmap… The brainstorming sessions have played a profoundly helpful role in the development of many exciting developments so far, such as Cagendas, Vlalendas, and moderation guidelines. You can watch all the brainstorming sessions on the NovaCrypto YouTube channel and view the mindmap here.
In this article we aim to provide suggestions for the next topics to brainstorm and curate previous brainstorming sessions. Please note that this article is an early work in progress and will be updated soon. Thanks for reading, enjoy!

Suggested Topics for EFBS 4
Here are a few topics that we could discuss during the fourth Eden Fractal Brainstorming Session:
MSIG Update
Vlad made a proposal to update the MSIG:
Participant Agreement
The agreement could start with simple terms to ensure that everyone speaks English, explicitly consents that videos are shared publicly, and understands the timing of events. In the future we could gradually propose more terms with an iterative approach as the community sees fit. This agreement can be helpful to set expectations clearly, protect the community from liabilities, and cooperate more effectively.
Eden Fractal’s Mission
Dan recently proposed the following: Foster collaboration, create public goods, and build relationships amongst EOS community members. This proposal is largely inspired by Vlad’s proposal in week 30, but it adds a part about creating public goods.
There have been many interesting ideas about Eden Fractal’s mission shared by community members over the past few weeks. You can see the show notes for meeting 29 and 30 for in depth discussions. For example, Eric shared great thoughts about the specificity of the mission and the potential vision. Gavriel shared inspiring ideas about fractal democracy. Here is a recent post from Gavriel about the mission and fractal democracy.Perry made a very interesting proposal for a more focused mission statement and Marco shared insightful feedback here.
We’re curating discussions about Eden’s mission at EdenCreators.com/mission. Please keep in mind that these pages are in early stages of development and will be updated soon.
