[Proposal] Build/Connect Regional IRL chapters to grow and support CLOUD/Crypto together
(something I recently proposed for Jupiter but also wanted to throw the idea out to Sanctum)
After staying in crypto, sometimes it gets too isolated. This is why one of the reasons I love about crypto and projects are the connections we make first from NFT/discord/Twitter communities, then to IRL meetups which unfortunately can get overwhelming and uncomfortable if done randomly.
Who wants to go to IRL meetups filled with suits, VCs or those with too many agendas and not enough vibes and doing things together to build an IRL community to connect with like-minded and curious crypto communities to learn, support and connect? Degens vibe together best!
What I propose is (like SMBs) setup of local chapters around the globe of like-minded CLOUD/Crypto members get together for simple events: chartiy/clean-up, bbq/picnic, NFT gallery, sports (basketball, futbol) or events (sporting games, concerts) or just simple breakfast with coffee and bagels.
i) Basic and very flexible structure:
Mission Statement:
To welcome and support new crypto ( esp CLOUD) communities
Then get the word out about Solana and CLOUD.
Regional Chapter:
Led by 2 ambassadors (prefer OG/Mini-Cloud, if possible)
Min 5 interested members to start
Meet once every other month or quarterly
Purpose:
Fun or event driven (charity, sports, cleanup, volunteer or coffee/bagel)
Monthly ambassadors zoom meeting
Update on what each region is doing.
What events works/What doesnt
How to support one another and ideas
Outreach:
Connect with new communities like Jupiter, SBMs, MadLads, DAA, etc., as a collabo meetup
All welcomed!
ii) What I am asking for?:
Feedback on idea
Is it good or needed
How to best improve
Interested members - globally
UPDATE: 10/7/2024:
Currently a list of members are getting organized around the globe. Please reach-out to me if you are interested in helping, ambassadorship or just want to join as a member!
I think this is a great idea, we are a small community so finding lots of people in your local regions might be a struggle so maybe widen the net initially to be just nationally and set up calls educating your local native speakers & try invite other SOL communities to join first and after a prolonged duration suggest a meet up? Sometimes people find it difficult to meet IRL before they have met someone interacted online.
Love the enthusiasm!
Anyone want to help form a IRL community in their local chapter as ambassador or as a helper, please comment here or contact me via Twitter/Discord at @NYSoul2x / nysoul
Hello @NYSoul! I’m Feyber (x.com)
Im reaching out here from discord server and registered!
Im about to activate $CLOUD Community in Indonesia as a ambassador
fyi I had several member that Solana OG(MadLads, NFT OG etc),
I hope we can fully support $CLOUD from SEA
Hey @GreythornAM!
I live near Jakarta, Capital of Indonesia. I knew @Bengshark he joined my community as a mod too but didnt know about Halfa and yes we can build Indonesian Sanctum Communty but seems me and beng separate with timezone and location. but happy to make a $CLOUD OG com
The idea is good imo, but we will need to grow the community a bit before being able to do that, we are all around the world so irl will be difficult no ? I mean I don’t even see my flags on the discord lol
Moved around, I’m from France/Japan, maybe will move to Indonesia, but I’ve seen Indonesian flag on discord and they are active, the two others, I haven’t seen ppl from these ethnicities active on the channel, not yet tho
as a ambassador
we’ll help build IRL with
