To reach new members.

we will miss the target by big margin.

@Ravi singh A new member welcome page page has been created with to do instructions 

 

@kamlesh nagware monthly LinkedIn live at 10 am first Saturday of  the month.

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.
