@so608

I do have a few questions about what’s outlined in the proposal:

• Would like to understand timing as @cryptocredit mentioned – since this proposal has been delayed, does that change the event dates/timeline for this? When will you hold the event, if funding is approved?

Thanks for requesting answers to these questions.
We submitted this proposal with new dates. [Approved] Kano is BOS Developer Event.

@so608

Who will present the educational elements of the event? Is it the organizing team who will be on-site to host workshops and help introduce attendees to NEAR protocol?

The team will be on-site to present the workshops. This will be done such that not only devs will be taught to build on BOS but dApps on NEAR be introduced to end users.

@so608

Regarding the BOS components that will be developed, I think it’s important to emphasize the need to build components that people in the NEAR ecosystem need and will actively use. Is there a strategy you have for helping developers understand what the ecosystem needs most right now? I don’t think it’s a good use of funds to develop components that will go unused. Utility is very important.

We were looking at both what will be useful for the locals and reusable components. They could range from simple games, to social related ideas.

@so608

There are a lot of marketing channels/strategies mentioned for promoting the event and attracting attendees. Who’s social channels and email lists will be used to raise awareness about the event? What community partners will you be working with to spread the word? You mentioned an event web site – does this already exist? If not, what are you planning to use to build it? I would recommend using a free event tool or simple landing page if possible. I don’t think there’s a need to build out a full web site for this at this stage.

We plan on using local social channels to promote the event. Radio stations in the state, Social media influencers on TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, and IG. For emails, a special email for the event will be opened to interact with the audience.

@so608

Who will the speakers be, what will the workshops cover?

Speakers will range from some Northern ecosystem founders who we will use to broaden the event with insights into Blockchain, I, The three team members, and two more ecosystem OGs from Nigeria to engage on this.

We were looking at a simple landing page to help interested persons see the validity in the event. This won’t go at costs aside the domain name as our team is capable of building A-Z. However, if MDAO doesn’t see the need, we will put it aside.
