Introduce Yourself
Hi Team, I'm Timo. after attending the IPFS Berlin Developer's meeting in 2018 and IPFS Camp in 2019, I'm strongly interested in IPFS protocol and decentralized web. With the support from @onion797jp[Tokyo] and @dongtianyi [Beijing] I'd like to organise the Seoul Chapter to grow Korean community. Nowadays 7 universities opened Blockchain course in South Korea but they don't have closely connection with IPFS. I'm planning to arrange meetups in Seoul for networking more people and let them dive into this Tech. My Twitter is [@timowlee].

Thanks for your interest in ProtoSchool, @timowlee! We're currently working through some proposed changes to the event leadership model that would affect next steps here, so I'm afraid I need to delay my response for a little bit. I hope to be in touch in early December with an update!

Hi, Teri. Thank you for your quick answer. Ok, pls take your time. Actually I have closely contact with @onion797jp [Tokyo], who organised an awesome Meetup in Japan. If possible I would like to invite you guys from Protocol Labs to share the Knowledge about IPFS in Seoul. Currently I'm also looking for a press to translate and publish the IPFS Book [Author: Tianyi Dong etc.] in Korea.

@timowlee Thank you so much for your interest in sharing ProtoSchool’s content with folks in your area, and for your patience in awaiting a response.

We’re currently in the process of doing some user research and redesigning the way we support local event leaders so that we can provide great educational resources to a broader number of volunteers in a more straightforward and scalable manner, including allowing multiple groups in the same city to share our content. It’s our intention to roll out some new tools and guidance in Q1 of 2020 once we’ve had a chance to do our research and get our plans in order.

We’d love your input as we make our plans. Please complete this survey if you’d like to share your thoughts!

For the time being, we’re putting a temporary hold on creating new chapters/repos so that we can focus on building the educational resources and tools that will help local leaders and learners succeed. However, we’re still excited to have you help educate folks in your area!

Between now and our announcement in Q1, I’d ask you to refrain from referring to your group as a ProtoSchool chapter, but invite you to share our content at your local events. You should feel free to label a specific event offered by your group as a ProtoSchool workshop if it meets all of these criteria:

• Offers learners the chance to work through one of the ProtoSchool tutorials in person with support from mentors
• Advertises and enforces a Code of Conduct in line with the global ProtoSchool Code of Conduct (learn more)
• Is an educational event (not promotional or commercial)
• Is not-for-profit (free or low cost to attendees)

I’m going to leave this issue open and label it as on hold for the time being to ensure that I circle back with you once our new leadership model is announced in Q1. In the meantime, feel free to email us with questions, and I hope you’ll check out our resources on organizing ProtoSchool events. We’re really excited to have you share our tutorials with your local community!

Great news for you, @timowlee!

We now have a process for submitting upcoming ProtoSchool workshops to be included on our website! We expect to launch this new site feature within the next couple of weeks, so please review this issue now to learn about qualifying events and how to submit. We need event data before we can launch!

Please note that this opportunity is open to everyone. Whether you want to lead a single workshop at a conference or incorporate our curriculum into the content of a longstanding meetup, we're eager to have you share ProtoSchool's content with your local community. Be sure to check out our resources for event organizers.

I'll be in touch again later this month with more updates on the new community leadership model and an upcoming ProtoSchool newsletter. In the meantime, please feel free to email us with questions!

Hi there, @timowlee !

Just reaching out to ensure you've seen the official announcement on our new event-based community model for ProtoSchool, which replaces our chapter-based model. With the implementation of this new system, you'll no longer need a chapter to host ProtoSchool workshops, so I'll close out this issue.

Under the new event-based model, hosting ProtoSchool workshops is easier than ever. Please check out our readme for all the details you need to get started. (Safety comes first, of course, so please refer to guidance from your local health authorities around COVID-19 before scheduling any gatherings.)

I'd also like to invite you subscribe to our newsletter so we can keep you informed of news and resources for local organizers. (Be sure to check the Local Leadership Updates box.)

Looking forward to working with you as you host local events in your community. Thanks again for volunteering!
