Dear Polkadot Community Developers,

A major Polkadot event for developers is coming up, and you have the chance to be part of this unique experience!

We have submitted proposal 1176 to enable 30 active Polkadot developers worldwide to attend Sub0 Thailand 2024. Here’s how you can apply.

How to participate

To apply, follow the steps below and make sure you meet the requirements.

Reply to this post with:

  • Your name or nickname.
  • Your country and region.
  • A summary of your last six months of activity as an active developer/community member (including GitHub links), referring to the selection criteria listed below.
  • A paragraph explaining why you would like to benefit from this sponsorship.

Please submit your application by October 10, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.

:spiral_notepad: Selection process

Due to limited time and the need for attendees to manage visa, hotel, and flight bookings, we will begin the selection process before the proposal decision on OpenGov.

Developers will be scored based on the following criteria:

  1. Representatives of projects that are building on Substrate or have demonstrated a public and notorious interest in wanting to build on Substrate or to migrate their existing project to Substrate. (15 points)

  2. Created a content about dev during the 3 months before Sub0 (5 points. According to the number and quality of the content).

  3. Joined the JAM contest (We will use the information provided on this page to determine participation JAM Gray Paper) (10 points).

  4. Proof of work, including github activity. Repositories or personal github links to check the contributions in the last year. (5 to 10 points).

  5. Proposals done in OpenGov in the Polkadot ecosystem (5 points + 1 point for the other proposals in parachains).

  6. W3F Grant (5 points).

  7. Alumni PBA (5 points)

In the event of a tie among participants, the proposals with the most support among the community will be evaluated as a tie-breaker.

We aim to ensure global representation by offering a maximum of 6 sponsorships for Europe, 12 for Asia-Pacific, 6 for the Americas, and 6 for Africa. If a region does not fill its quota, the Sub0 Thailand Sponsorship Team may select nominees from other regions.

The Sub0 Thailand Sponsorship Team will announce the selected participants on October 17, 2024, via a post on the Polkadot Forum.
