5/6 Conferences budget - HackWasm Italy

This is the fifth proposal, following the passing of the previous signaling proposal for Juno's presence at conferences and events, specifically for the HackWasm Italy event.

What is HackWasm Italy

HackWasm Italy will be a 2-day hackathon organized by Juno in collaboration with local partners, including Made in Block, other validators and other ecosystem chains.

Made In Block is already hosting Cosmos Meetups monthly, partially self funded and partially supported by the ATOM Accelerator DAO. Italy has a flourishing developer ecosystem which is yet to discover about Cosmos and the blockchain space in general. Considering that meetups are attended by an average of 50-60 people, it's expected that the Hackathon will attract around 100 developers who could be ready to join the ecosystem and build something cool.

Here a few links about the past meetups:

It will be held in Milan (Italy) September 16th and 17th.

Note: Dates are still to be confirmed according to venue availability.

Here is a breakdown of what we will get accomplished at this conference:

• HackWasm Italy
  • Introduce new developers to Cosmos and CosmWasm
  • Technical keynotes by Juno contributors
  • Jury seat for a Juno core team member
  • Vested Hackathon prizes sponsored by Hackjuno/Core-1 subDAOs
