Networking Strategy
  • Active participation in events & promote Hyperledger India community
  • Participation in Colleges and University Technical festival
  •  Different ways to interact with college and start with a introductory presentation about Hyperleger projects
  •  Monthly Linkedin live - Community updates  (suggested name in community call : Hyperledger India Monthly Hangout/Huddle
  • When new member attended the call, how to add them to the community page (themself using LFID)
To reach new members.we will miss the target by big margin.

Prospective Developer Strategy


  • Code contributions workshops - Monthly
  • Medium like post in hyperleger wiki post
  • Know-how contents (from scratch to introduction of the tool and frameworks)
  • what we are offering to student societies (see the page for possible questions)
  •  



In GUI ways, attension span is narrowed to less than 10 second, so we must ask questions "How to make the content more engaging to students?"

Hyperledger tools documentation is good for people who have experience on the tools. 
Student Engagement Strategy
  • Activating study circles
  • Student Newsletter (highlight the achievement)
  • Non-dev enganegemt:
    • Campus Ambassador Program for undergraduate students - Aim: To drive traffic to our social media pages by spreading info on meetups, workshops, etc.
    • Live Projects for MBA students - 3 month program with weekly goals to increase engagement by numbers
  • Create certificate of participation scheme
  • Training certification by India chapter (kartikey.dav100 )
  • To do list for new member
  • Finalize the how to start student society at your institute/university(link to page).
To make them feel valuable to community.
