Description

Our project is a community building project, allowing us to build the interest, understanding and adoption of Decentraland in the East of England. It will allow individuals to experience Decentraland for themselves, as well as hear talks on the project at our community events. Through the funding, this will allow us to bring Decentraland "live" to an event with an estimated 500 developers in attendance, as well as another event with 100 individuls (of all walks of life). This will cover Decentraland as part of the ETHAnglia community of events, including venue hire, speaker setup and having Decentraland marketed terminals to experience the metaverse in person. We appreciate that the communities will only utilise the "terminals" for events (we plan to integrate Metaverse into future events, but this is something we are still planning, we wanted to be explicit with our deliverables for this application). To further the technology utilisation, will ensure these are put to good use by being used by scholars of our web3 academy when not in use by the events (https://ethanglia.org/education)

id maybe make your avatar names known and be sure to participate in community events. Maybe also drop in couple twitch streamers twitters get your name out there. Seeing as the events are little out. Relationship and PR build could go along way.

ETHAngliaFeb 19, 2022

Oh well. Thank you all for the support that voted yes. In the end, maybe bad timing with a lot of people at ETHDenver, or just not enough interest in this meant it wasn't to be. Thank you all for your support.

Thanks @dax DAX! Can you reach out on twitter @ETHAnglia - then we can connect the dots. I will search on the Discord.

daxFeb 18, 2022

voting yes and would be interested in learning more as i've run a number of events myself. please get in touch with me on discord!

TheCryptoTenguFeb 18, 2022

Ah only thing i think is really holding you back is maybe your unknown in the majority part of community. I know its time consuming but attending events as a representative and having a name and avatar people relate to really does go along way. Never know tho some whale may come along and push. it does and can happen. ill give you a tweet dont know if it will help but I wish you the best of luck in growing and educating. I personally am rooting for you guys. This seems like the kinda proposal that really we need to grow the space. Not just for DCL but for safety and blockchain education all around.

Part of the proposal is to have a decentraland banner above the computers being used at BOTH events @maraoz - just 300,000 from approval now. Hence the costings. We also want to promote as part of talks, again, if anyone can put us in touch with someone to speak, that'd be amazing. If @TheCryptoTengu etc. have any suggestions to get this over the line, happy to update and adjust as neccessary. We are happy to do so, but we really think this will be awesome!

I'm also supporting this non-standard proposal. Hope the event is successful and you put the Decentraland logo somewhere to make us happy :slight_smile:

IRL events are needed. Everyone keeps asking for onboarding and marketing thats exactly what they are doing via education. They have a track record to boot that makes it a little more easier to say ah ok these guys have history, direction a purpose and a venue. Way more then others are bringing to the table. If they dont get it this time i hope in the future they do.

ETHAngliaFeb 16, 2022

Thank you so much for the vote, here are some older events we have ran. https://www.norfolkdevelopers.com/posts/2018-07-15-nordevcon-2019-call-for-speakers https://akcela.co.uk/inaugural-tech-and-beer-norwich-event-roundup/ You are exactly right, this is a gateway to the MetaVerse, used as a way of promiting and onboarding people to see what it actually is. Once again thank you, here is hoping we can hit that 1,000,000

EibrielFeb 15, 2022

Sounds like you are asking Decentraland to sponsor the event. Is unusual, but I'm fine with that. Voting yes. I think we need that maintain a connection with the physical world through events like this one. Looking forward to see the pictures!

ETHAngliaFeb 14, 2022

Thank you ever so much, yes we want to get the word out about web3 and as we have hopefully got across in this proposal, whilst we don't want to over-subscribe the amount of milestones on this piece, we want to make it clear that actually, we hope to have more events in the future. I think uptake is looking all round positive, but the 1,000,000 VP may be the stumbling block.

TheCryptoTenguFeb 14, 2022

Voting yes on this usually im against funding people but i think this one hits the mark. I hope you can raise the 1mil vp. I like the way you have worded things and instead of asking for funding to just make wearables or to buy land and build you are actually trying to pass knowledge. Best of luck. I Would like to see you guys grow your social media more. Might help you in these kinda votes. Im Gonna try to help you out with that.
