The approved partial funding for INK-17, granting Youngsun $5,000 to host an Inkubator by Doodles community meetup in Seoul, South Korea.
A proposal for a $7,000 sponsorship to provide free tickets for OG holders at the HelloNFT conference, also organized by Youngsun, did not pass.
Instead, the council agreed to retroactively cover the costs for up to 50 free tickets given to holders for the same event.
Description
- Koodles (Korean Doodlers community) wants to host a community meetup/side event during HELLO NFT!, an NFT festival held in Seoul (https://www.hellonft.live/en). The event is hosted by a Doodler (@youngsunlive), where the Doodles team member(@austin_hurwitz) will be present officially for the first time in Asia.
- As this is the first time that an official doodles team member is present in Asia / Korea for a conference or for speech, we want to make sure that lots of doodlers can attend the event as well as proliferate doodles brand in the event zone to Korean wider audience, where huge companies, and local projects all participating. We also, plan to decorate rooftop with Korean holders' Doodles 2, if this is a possibility.
- Koodles will also organize an amazing and memorable event in Seoul for the Doodles community in Korea / Asia. We look forward to spending a night filled with frens, drinks, dancing, networking, celebrating the hot dood summer vibes that have begun globally. Also, this will be a great opportunity for us to spread the words that Doodles' Inkubator program is already empowering the community globally!
- Our aim is to create a platform where holders and their plus ones can gather, mingle, enjoy themselves, engage in stimulating conversations with individuals who share similar interests, and let loose on the dance floor. But no shoeys! We feel that Doodles are not about shoeys.
