Sponsorship for active devs and community members during Polkadot Symbiosis in Buenos Aires

Well, if you like repetition… here you go: :sweat_smile:


Hello there! The PAPI team will attend Polkadot Symbiosis as a whole. We applied for a talk in the event and we plan to support the Hackathon with mentoring.

This post is for my application:

Name: Josep M Sobrepere (@josep)
Github: josepot (Josep M Sobrepere) Ā· GitHub
Country: Catalonia, Europe
Key activities:

  • Developed and maintained polkadot-api, alongside with https://dev.papi.how, the next generation developer console. See the main repo and other repos in the org to see our contributions. See this forum post for a list of all my contributions to the ecosystem.
  • Proposed an interoperable interface to enable -among others- the possibilities of Extrinsic v5.
  • Build a library for comparing runtimes, and a UI that’s been adopted by the Polkadot Deployment Portal.
  • Authored @polkadot-api/legacy-provider.
  • High level of support to multiple teams in the ecosystem using our libraries. This includes small teams and large teams across various companies (ParaSpell, Parity, Hydration, Xode, etc.).
  • Multiple contributions to polkadot-sdk and smoldot repos.
  • Taught at PBA Lucerne and Bali, both Fundamentals and Off-Chain Modules.
  • Talks given at previous Sub0 and previous Decoded
  • Graduated with distinction at PBA Singapore.

I’d benefit from this sponsorship to ease my trip to Buenos Aires, which would help me (and my team) with our talk and hackathon support.
