This Wave 1 RFP is open to additional proposals.
Name of Project: Hosting Community Meetups
RFP Category: community
Proposer: @pooja
If you have an idea for a great Filecoin community event, or just want to get to know local members of the Filecoin community, this RFP is for you! We are looking for proposals for high-quality community meetups that foster connection and are focused on Filecoin. Your meetup could range from a few hours on a weekday evening to a multi-day hackathon! We expect your team to do all event organizing, marketing, fundraising/ticket sales, etc for the event. However, we can generally help by providing some swag or, depending on the event, a stipend.
Some ideas for community events that we would be happy to fund include:
- Meetups where the aim is to test Filecoin, file issues for any problems that arise, and fix some of them
- Bug bashes (fix some of the open Filecoin issues)
- Meetups focused on explaining key Filecoin concepts
- Decentralized storage meetups that host lightning talks from projects building on Filecoin
- Demos of Filecoin apps
- Workshops specializing in how to build an app on Filecoin
- And more!
In order to apply for this project, please do not use the generic RFP proposal template. Instead, please use the RFP Community Proposal Template. Please follow the same general instructions as described in the README for the general RFP proposals (i.e. submit a PR, tag it properly, etc.).
Community events can be an extremely powerful, galvanizing force for an open-source project. At the same time, we are currently a small set of core project maintainers, and don't have the ability to travel and organize high-quality community events for our global communities. We would love to engage our community members to help in this process, both expanding our global communities and increasing the number of people who are deeply invested in and committed to the success of the Filecoin project.
