Hello NEAR Family. :wave:
Continuing with the route of the open web house, we bring a new proposal to continue promoting the NEAR Protocol in Mexican lands. This edition of Open Web House is special because it takes place in parallel to the CriptoMexico event organized by the CryptoCarnes community in Monterrey, a community oriented towards blockchain education in the region.

With the experience generated around the different hacker houses that we have implemented, this proposal not only contains the development of a face-to-face event, but also talks about the user experience and presence of the NEAR brand before and after the event, creating content. of dissemination and content of academic value, as well as the mobilization of local communities that increases the energies of assistance.

Open Web House in the past :back:

Abstract :books:

Open Web House is a three-day face-to-face event focused on software developers from Mexico who want to build web 3.0, as well as a space to guide DeFi issues and crowdfunding projects through a hackathon.

Open Web Academy is an educational DAO that runs Web 3 learning programs to teach people how to develop and launch decentralized projects; developing IRL events to recruit new web 3 builders and promoting the creation of solutions based on the NEAR Protocol since 1 year ago and now wants to scale up recruiting web 3.0 enthusiasts and builders by creating face to face development groups.

This publication proposes the conceptualization, planning and execution of a three-day hackathon to promote the development of the NEAR ecosystem in Mexico with the Javascript SDK.

There are a few points that I want to make emphasis:

  • This proposal is a full event organization and logistics, including previous, during and after activities.
  • This proposal includes the previous/parallel events required to mount a succesful Hacker House: Technical Training, meetups with communities and talks with universities.
  • Advanced technical topics like Blockchain Operating System can be covered and teached by Open Web Academy team.
  • Monterrey is one the biggest cities on tech industry, e.g. Tesla will be installing a plant on Monterrey and there are actives communities developing Web 3 on the area.

Keep building!

Hi @irvingcong Thanks for the proposal – I’d like to find a way to support this as we do see Hackathons as playing a vital role in expanding and growing the NEAR ecosystem. That said, combined with your previous proposal ($7.1K), if this is approved, the total funding allocated to one team would reach $34,270 at a time when our monthly soft cap is $50K. Because of that, I think we need to review this during our next weekly council meeting as it may require additional approval/support from our funding sources, i.e. the NDC. We’re meeting tomorrow, so hopefully we can have more information for you soon.

Thank you for the attention paid to our proposal and thank you for highlighting the point of the monthly financing limit. We await without inconvenience an answer to which they can arrive. See you later!

Hi @irvingcong thanks for your proposal and firstly may i appologise for the delay in coming to a decision.
I have reviewed your proposal and noted the comments and replies to fellow council. The Marketing DAO council reached out, on your behalf, to the Events team for guidance but they were unable to assist.
Unfortunately i am unable to support as the amount requested is outside our single proposal cap of $10k.

Hi @irvingcong Echoing what @cryptocredit said, we asked the NF events team if they could fund this, and they were not able to. We do have a $10K cap at the moment (which we are hoping to have support from the NDC for increasing in the near future, but at the moment are not there yet). Would you consider revising the proposal to meet that? I’d like to see a way forward where we can support you in this effort.

@cryptocredit @so608

Thank you for your feedback and clarity about dao marketing. We are really excited to continue offering build spaces for everyone interested in NEAR and AURORA. We have made some modifications in the previous activities of the event, the number of participants and the experiences in the event.
We hope you will review this proposal again and let us know how we can proceed.
See you soon!

hello, team.
The hacker house is about to happen in 8 days and the funding process has not been completed. We are concerned about how this may affect the activities already planned.
