Global Polkadot Meetups

We invite people across the globe to organise Polkadot meetups in their local cities.

There is no requirement to contact us, but we think there is a lot to be gained from working together. We are keen to talk with people who can work in a self-directed manner. We envision that meetups will mainly be organised through meetup.com since this seems to be the defacto standard for creating local meetup groups. The plan is to have multiple active meetup groups across the world.

Repo Issues

As explained on the main page, we are using this repo to coordinate community efforts. On the issues page you can see the issues we are interested in. Many of these issues pertain to Polkadot meetups. If you see your city listed then feel free to reply, if you don't see your city listed then feel free to open a new issue (please follow the naming convention being used).

We have a standard issue response template that we would like people to use:

Template

  • Number of people on your team:
