Governance is a big topic in the blockchain world. Deciding on the evolution of the protocol,
even changing a constant can fracture the community. Hard forks are not uncommon with often
negative consequences. Tezos, an emerging blockchain, has been designed from the ground up
with the idea of on-chain Governance, where changes are decided by the community on the Tezos
blockchain using an open and democratic process. In particular in the context of FOSDEM, this talk will focus on the benefits that this type
of governance can offer to the developer community in terms of visibility, rewards and potential
for open collaboration. 

I'll provide background on the topic, an overview of Tezos and its current protocol in relation
to voting and governance, and close the talk with a few ideas about the future.
