[METADATA] SDG rating

The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

A community is people who live in a certain area or people who are considered as a unit because of similar interests, social groups, or nationalities. - Based on Cambridge Dictionary.

As we know, Crypto currency enthusiasts are widespread in Indonesia, but we are not yet connected to each other. In fact, when we get to know each other in this community, it will happily increase adoption on Cardano and bring more benefits to the Cardano Community. On the other hand, most Crypto users don't really know or are even interested in knowing what Cardano has been up to. Therefore, proposers want to increase awareness of Cardano and let them know more through this meeting. As more people join and connect with us, we are sure they will have more ideas to implement to expand this community.

More than that, the Indonesian Cardano community has held an online Cardano Workshop, an offline Cardano Meetup in Surabaya and Jakarta, and a Cardano Hub in Surabaya and Jakarta, but we have never held a regular offline meeting in Makassar, one of the big cities located in the central park of Indonesia, on the island of Sulawesi. In Makassar there are also many crypto communities and users but they have never been involved in gaining an understanding of Cardano. We still invite communities in other cities in South Sulawesi to come, such as in Bone Regency and Pare-Pare City.

Apart from Cardano Hub, Proposer will also create several articles and infographics about Cardano, which are easy to understand even for those who are not familiar with technology. Another thing is an additional knowledge to contribute by becoming an application developer on Cardano and providing a basic overview of Cardano development.

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

This offline face-to-face meeting is intended to provide a meaningful experience for the Cardano community so that it will increase trust and foster better interactions and exchange of points of view that cannot be obtained if it is held online. This offline meeting is for the communities who attend, but for presenters or other communities who will attend online there will still be space open for that.

In Makassar there are also many universities, including those that focus on technology. We will also invite them so that the Cardano ecosystem can be better known among academics, especially students, so that the implementation and use of Cardano can be more widespread and it is possible that someone will be interested in contributing and utilizing the Cardano blockchain network for application development.

Inviting other crypto communities is also part of our strategy so that they can also take advantage of the Cardano ecosystem and become an option to use. Through these interactions, we aspire to strengthen people's trust in Cardano, developing a collaborative and interconnected blockchain.

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

All costs incurred in implementing this offline meeting project will provide long-term benefits to the Cardano ecosystem because a community will be formed and will increase users who implement Cardano in their daily lives.

The community that is built will continue to transfer knowledge, especially to other newcomers to Cardano so that transactions on the Cardano blockchain are also expected to increase and of course this is a promotion for the Cardano ecosystem and also has an indirect impact on the Cardano treasury.
