[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

Based on Cambridge Dictionary, community is the people living in one particular area or people who are considered as a unit because of their common interests, social group, or nationality. As we know, people that are interested in Crypto currency are widely spread in Indonesia but we aren’t connected one to each other yet. When in fact, when we know each other in this community, it will gladly increase adoption in Cardano and bring much more benefits to Cardano Community. 

On the other hand, most of the Crypto users don’t really know or even not interested to find out about what Cardano has already done. Therefore, the proposer wants to increase the awareness of Cardano and make them know more through this meetup. By having more and more people joined and connected with us, we believe that they will have more ideas to implement in order to widen this community. 

More than that, indonesia cardano community already have done an online Cardano Workshop, an offline Cardano Meetup in Surabaya, and Cardano Hub in Surabaya. While in contrast, we haven’t had any regular offline meetup in Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia where most of the crypto events and communities gather. 

Besides, other than Cardano Hub, the proposer also intend to make books about how to use Cardano and distribute them to Community Leader. Other than books, we will make an E-Book that will be published on Cardano Forum and distribute them to communities. Through this book, we believe that more crypto communities will know that Cardano is a working blockchain for them to use on.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

The envisioned project is designed to cultivate a meaningful offline experience for the Cardano community, emphasizing authentic connections and the exchange of perspectives. By convening Cardano enthusiasts in person, the initiative transcends the limitations of online interactions, establishing a tangible platform for real-world engagement and knowledge sharing. This approach is particularly significant as it aligns with the cultural fabric of Indonesia, where face-to-face interactions hold a special significance, thereby fostering a deeper resonance within the local community.

In the Cardano Summit 2023 there are around 60 to 70 people which are more than expected. This proposal intends to maintain our communities, and to add more newcomers to Cardano Blockchain. Cardano itself will get more brand awareness in others crypto communities, and unconsciously through them, they will know that Cardano are rich in DeFi, NFT, Catalyst, and untapped potential to learn and stay on.

Furthermore, as part of our strategy, we will extend invitations to other communities, inviting them to join us in meetups where we will share insights about Cardano. This collaborative approach aims not only to educate external communities about Cardano but also to facilitate their onboarding onto the platform. Through this interaction, we aspire to strengthen people's belief in Cardano, fostering a collaborative and interconnected blockchain

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Value Proposition:

Community Building:

• Offline Presence: The meetup will establish a physical presence, enabling participants to connect on a personal level. This is particularly impactful in Indonesia, where face-to-face interactions hold significant cultural value.
• Networking Opportunities: Attendees will have the chance to network with like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of community and encouraging collaboration. This communal atmosphere is vital for sustained interest and involvement in the Cardano ecosystem.
• Knowledge Transfer:
• Educational Workshops: The meetup will feature educational workshops conducted by experienced Cardano enthusiasts. This hands-on learning experience will deepen participants' understanding of Cardano's technology, principles, and real-world applications.
• Shared Experiences: Speakers will share their personal experiences with Cardano, offering practical insights that go beyond online forums and documentation. This personal touch can significantly enhance the perceived value of the Cardano ecosystem.
• Onboarding New Participants:
• Attracting Diverse Audiences: By hosting an offline meetup, we aim to attract individuals from various backgrounds who may not be actively engaged in the online Cardano community. This diversity will contribute to a richer and more inclusive ecosystem.
• Addressing Concerns in Real-time: Offline meetups provide a platform for addressing concerns and queries in real-time, instilling confidence in potential participants and overcoming potential barriers to entry.
• Promoting Cardano's Tangible Value:
• Demonstrating Real-World Use Cases: Through discussions and presentations, the meetup will highlight real-world use cases and success stories associated with Cardano. This tangible evidence will solidify Cardano's value proposition in the eyes of attendees.
• Feedback Loop: The offline format allows for immediate feedback, enabling the Cardano community to understand user perspectives, pain points, and expectations. This iterative process is crucial for the continuous improvement of the Cardano ecosystem.

Cost-Benefit Analysis:

The costs associated with organizing the Cardano Offline Meetup in Jakarta are justified by the potential long-term benefits to the Cardano ecosystem. The value derived from community building, knowledge transfer, onboarding new participants, and promoting Cardano's tangible value far outweighs the initial investment.

In conclusion, hosting an offline meetup in Jakarta is a strategic move to engage the local community, promote Cardano's unique features, and create a lasting impact on the blockchain landscape in Indonesia.The Proposer confident that this initiative will not only benefit the attendees but also contribute significantly to the growth and success of the Cardano ecosystem
