[Approved] NEAR HO CHI MINH CITY Meet Up

Hello beloved community

My name is William X, currently a project manager of the Open Web Sandbox & council of @CommunityDAO. With recent great initiatives in the Near Ecosystem, I find it’s time to propose a NEAR MEET in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This will be an opportunity for Vietnamese who are working within the ecosystem to meet up, discuss & share values, at the same time spread the fire & encourage those who are interested in evolving to the NEAR ecosystem to participate. This meet up, with a modest scale, will be a step for me & other Vietnamese fellows to kick off potential collaboration & hopefully onboard more Vietnamese people working with us.

1. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

  • Introducing Vietnamese Community Manager Group (CM NEAR Vietnam)

  • Cross discussing

  • 3 sharing topics:

    • Working experience: An Open Discussion (leading by @HaiVu CM Near VN)
    • Near Insider’s DAO/GUILD graduation journey (@near.insider)
    • Partnership Calling: The Open Web Sandbox Pitch Deck (@williamx)
  • Brainstorm ideas for future Meetup events and cross-collaboration opportunities

2. EXPECTED OUTCOME

  • Create awareness about CM NEAR Vietnam group. A group dedicated to any Vietnamese working inside of Near ecosystem to open discussion, catch up with latest events, and propose partnership opportunities
  • Mutual understanding about different roles/projects/internal workflow of the ecosystem through sharing topics
  • Create direct awareness about the partnership opportunity with OWS

3. METRICS TO MEASURE SUCCESS

  • Minimum 20 people attend
  • New members to join CM NEAR Vietnam Group (Now has 10)
  • Plan for 1 Follow-up NEAR meets event
  • Create a strong bond among community moderators
  • Potentially a partnership to be proposed

4. PLANNED TOPICS:

  • Introduce Vietnamese community managers from different projects of the NEAR ecosystem

  • Sharing #1: Working experience: An Open Discussion (Mr. Hai, CM Near VN)

  • Sharing #3: Open Web Sandbox – Pitch deck, Partnership opportunities & open call for projects/guilds requests (William X, Project Manager of the Open Web Sandbox)

  • Follow-up discussion about Community DAO & call to join

I also have the ambition to gather people & make a Local City SubDAO of Community. Let’s see if we have enough traction & engagement to do that in the very near future.

Poll expires in 24 hours, pls consider voting @marketingdao-council. By the way, I haven’t been contacted after the KYC, is there any person in charge or any channel to confirm the process is still going well?

If there’s an issue with it, someone will reach out. Once the poll is approved then you’ll receive a docusign link for the agreement to receive NEAR. Should be all good atm, just needs approving.

Hi, the poll for this proposal will expire in 30 minutes, I have tried many times to contact other @marketingdao-council.

Tagged council 1 day before the expiration day, sent a direct message before 3 hours, everything I could do. Should I know what else do I need to perform to get my poll approved?

[REPORT] NEAR HO CHI MINH MEET-UP

Hereby is the report for Near Ho Chi Minh Meet-up

Dear community, Near Meet Ho Chi Minh was successfully organized on 09th April, 2022, which connected representatives of projects inside & outside Near Ecosystem.

Metrics reflection:

Actual Topics

We talked for 3 hours, with the actual agenda as follow:

Actual Costs:

The actual cost basically aligns with the approved proposal. 1 change made:

We couldn’t set up a catering service due to the limited budget that I have proposed ($100). Hence, this amount was combined to the swag for attendees with each pack including (1) NEAR cup & (1) NEAR Coffee Filter. ($10/pack x 25 pack = $250)

Acknowledgement

The meet was successfully created an opportunity for Near enthusiasts to meet and share.

Special thanks to

@jlwaugh for your guidance & support on creating this Meet Up

Mr. @HaiVu with his sharing about Project opps - an introduction to NEAR granting program

The 2 projects that have been successfully granted by NF are Up-Fi Network and Pawn Protocol, with the sharing about their journey & experience for interested outside projects & potential partners.

The meet hadn’t been a successful event without the support of the community, councils & advisors of @marketingdao-council, projects, guilds, DAOs and all participants. We had a great meet-up!
