Abstract :bookmark:

Open Web House is a two-day offline event in the pilot phase focused on software developers from Mexico who want to build web 3.0, as well as a space to mentor DeFi topics and crowdfunding projects through a hackathon.

Open Web Academy has been piloting NEAR certified bootcamps, and its members have worked for the past year on NEAR Protocol education projects and now wants to scale with recruiting web 3.0 enthusiasts and builders by creating face-to-face development groups.

This document proposes the conceptualization, planning and execution of a two-day workshop in Hacker House format to promote the development of the NEAR ecosystem in México with Javascript.

The UTBB is characterized by being a university on the edge of the beach and having an open mind regarding new technologies, this is confirmed by agreeing to be our partner for this event. In addition, it has a strategic geographical point, since it is located in the middle of two tourist cities in Mexico.

Thanks for this proposal,

I am very excited to support this proposal noting that:

  • The team has an extensive history onboarding and training new developers that have lead to the creation of multiple NEAR based projects in the region with active communitites
  • I’ve personally attended and can attest to the high quality of A LOT of marketing activities the team runs in the region such as Twitter Spaces - none of this activities have received funding from Marketing DAO in the past
  • I’ve personally attended several IRL events including a Hacker House in NYC and can attest to the important these events have in creating and strengthening local communities.

Recommendations:

Moving this proposal to approved. You can proceed with creating a poll on AstroDAO. Once the poll has been formally approved, you need to submit Request for Payment to NEAR Foundation using this form
