so are you proposing that DCL organize and pay for all of this? what is the 3000 USD actually for?

To expand on this, the $3000 is actually used to organize the events and to offer 1st-3rd place prizes for the winners of the hackathon, and can certainly be MANA. Additionally the 1st-3rd place prizes can be listed for auction/sold to reinvest back into the DAO.

I think this proposal lacks clarity and direction. Its not quite clear even what the name of the Organization behind the hackathon is. It is a small grant, so I think with some direction and clear description of how the hack-a-thons will be held, who will participate, etc, would likely garner support, but as it stands its not clear what I would be voting to fund, or how it would be implemented.

It’s actually for the community and participants. What are you for?

Summary *

Our vision is to create an incubator/accelerator for Decentraland to build community, build out Decentraland and the next generation of metaverse citizens.

These Founders are actively participating in the incubator, curating experiences, knowledge and development and building thoughtful leadership for a life changing experience in real life, too.

The team is made up of a core group of passionate Decentraland community members, thought leaders, developers and artists with a passion to share knowledge and actively contribute to the Decentraland community. Our goal is to compete in a rapidly growing industry, build community around Decentraland, and provide the tools and resources to make Decentraland THE metaverse of choice.
