@bpolania.near [Posted on DevHub](/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=2002) ## Idea: Scaling Developer DAO - Decentralized Developer Relations The Decentralized Developer Relations Program allows individuals and projects to build developer communities around NEAR Protocol by focusing on local or specialized needs. By letting these groups design strategies for specific regions or technical areas like ZK or AI, NEAR can expand its developer outreach. These dedicated devrels can address challenges and opportunities in their chosen regions or fields effectively. Those who wish to participate in this program, whether as a team or a single individual, are invited to submit proposals. The proposal should describe the area of focus, which can be a specific region or a technical field. Additionally, please include the names and roles of team members if applicable, outline the activities you plan to undertake, and specify the funding needs for a three-month period. For guidance on how to post your proposal, please refer to our article: [How to Post Proposals on DevHub](https://www.neardevgov.org/blog/how-to-post-proposals-on-devhub). In the context of our ongoing commitment to growing a strong developer community, we are seeking proposals capable of competently executing activities focused on developer relations. These may include but are not limited to: * Creating detailed tutorials and comprehensive documentation * Write technical articles and guides * Organizing in-person and online events * Offering developer support through forums or social media * Develop or integrate existing developer tools * Collaborating with educational institutions for workshops or courses * Any other activity that can effectively increase the number of developers building in NEAR To apply, post a solution in this forum with the information above so the community and DevDAO team can discuss it and approve it if it fits the mission and requirements of the program.
