[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:

  1. Mission Statement:
  • To welcome and support new crypto ( esp CLOUD) communities
  • Then get the word out about Solana and CLOUD.
  1. 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:
    1. Fun or event driven (charity, sports, cleanup, volunteer or coffee/bagel)
  1. Monthly ambassadors zoom meeting
  • Update on what each region is doing.
  • What events works/What doesnt
  • How to support one another and ideas
  1. Outreach:
  • Connect with new communities like Jupiter, SBMs, MadLads, DAA, etc., as a collabo meetup
  1. All welcomed!

ii) What I am asking for?:

  1. Feedback on idea
  • Is it good or needed
  • How to best improve
  1. Interested members - globally

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!

Yeah, thinking as a small community, we can build the best core members.

Then as we grow, we can connect with other CLOUD and other crypto communities (JUP, SMB, DAA, Mad Lads) doing collabo event together.
