thanks @luan for the context. agree the virtual vs. IRL listing in an important designation; my assumption would be a focus on virtual events initially, but IRL introduces some interesting possibilities. tangentially, i read your events team thoughts in the thread and like where that’s headed, re: visible events calendar and highlighting what we’re having a presence at. my early thinking is that we may need to prioritize a small number of hackathons within this support team if we want to reach some critical mass of dao member participants for each.
Good q. In my limited time between now and end of the year, I can definitely take some first steps here. I guess up for debate is when to elevate this proposal for formal budget consideration. Remaining details in this proposal are the success metrics and size of bounty pool - both of which I welcome comment on.
I would be surprised if there weren’t some good aggregated data sources out there. Happy to borrow from or promote lists created by others, but if we were to keep our own copy, we could include some additional metadata relevant to us, e.g., specific perks for dao members, highlight partner orgs or priority events, etc. A good starting point is definitely to collect those disparate data sources/calendars.
i hope so! i invite you and @Wikist to brainstorm and let me know of any ideas that get you excited. as food for thought, one thing that i’d love to see happen eventually is a travel budget for sending qualified* hackers to IRL events. re: qualified*, undetermined what would qualify someone for this today, but i’m adding this idea to the list of Post-MVP ideas.
