[IMPACT]

We are outreaching to all of our contacts introducing Cardano & Project Catalyst, offering documentation in multiple languages. Our researchers are also contacting all proposers relating to building Community Hubs that we can (IdeaScale is not great for networking), we have also researched an extensive list of Cardano related Social Media and we are proceeding to make contact with all of them.

We have created two websites:

GEROLAMO

<https://gerolamo.org> - this website provides various functionality, tools and updated information about our work to build a Global Multilingual Cardano Community Hub. Our global hub will then be subdivided by language, country, cities and technical requirements to match internet & mobile phone coverage.

CARDANO COMMUNITY HUBS

<https://cardanocommunityhubs.com> - This website has been created mainly for search engine optimisation (SEO), as we cannot be everywhere in the world we wanted to give an oppotunity for people to find us. The content that is building is mainly informative, covering all aspects of the Cardano Ecosystem and native currencies.

We are also in the process of building a new application that will offer "Virtual Hubs":

Building Virtual Meta Cardano Community Hubs Worldwide

https://cardanoverse.app - A 3 Dimensional World built on the Cardano™ Blockchain, incorporating, vCommerce, Education and Entertainment to build wider adoption of native currencies, Blockchain utility and a larger international Community.

We are looking for projects that can benefit from Cardano & ₳DA. We have studied all the related proposals since Fund 2 and researched into exactly what a “Cardano Community Hub” should be. We are talking to all types of people around the world and helping them understand how they can be helped and how they should proceed.

More information: <https://gerolamo.org/what-is-a-cardano-community-hub>

We have also researched various statistics & data to support the efficient rollout of hubs across the world.

LINK: <https://gerolamo.org/what-is-a-cardano-community-hub/global-statistics-for-community-hubs>

We believe that the most sustainable way to build Cardano Community Hubs is to ensure they all have multiple ways to earn digital currencies and fiat money through commercial activities and one or more projects.

Therefore in addition to this proposal we are also submitting other proposals that have a strong project that will use or promote Cardano together with local teams. These include:

  • CardanoCommunityHubs.com Worldwide <https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399147>
  • Protecting wildlife & Maasai, Kenya <https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399158>
  • Sustainable forestry Hub Cambodia https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea /399170
  • GIVE BUSINESSES THE TOOLS NEEDED! <https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399183>
  • Monaco Streaming Film Festival 2022 <https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399177>
  • Cardano Reuse Plastic India Hub <https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399179>

You will find all above Proposals and Supplementary Data on this link: <https://gerolamo.org/our-projects/fund-8-proposals-and-data>

We are building a network and offering online communication tools through our two websites: <https://gerolamo.org> & <https://cardanocommunityhubs.com>.

We are also addressing the self-sustainability of local hubs by introducing various methods of earning ₳DA & money. We see the best way to create new hubs is to identify a local problem or need and to use that to encourage the development of a community focused on it.

More information about monetising Community Hubs: <https://gerolamo.org/what-is-a-cardano-community-hub/monetising-community-hubs>

The Cardano community is growing, although it is fractured. There is no core to it and finding contacts or networking is very difficult. There is a big job to do to create channels of communication efficient enough to become self-perpetuating.

Additionally making all information about the Cardano blockchain, applications, projects, ₳DA and other native currencies available in multiple languages has up until now been a challenge.

It should be pointed out that at the time of writing we have only received 50% of the funding and that only arrived a week ago (We have been self-funding for 4 months) - Project Catalyst is a constantly changing environment with terms & conditions being changed without notice at times, this uncertainty for fund 8 onwards is a potential factor.

[FEASIBILITY]

Budget use from Fund 7

During fund 7, we will focus our efforts on building and perfecting the parts of the platform that inform and attract people to Cardano and Project Catalyst. The aim is to build a certain level of critical mass in terms of interest and membership that will consolidate the community values Gerolamo is founded on.

Having delivered the basic framework for functionality and content presentation, the next phase will use any Fund 7 budget to accelerate the work already underway:

• Extend technical infrastructures required to support, maintain and support the site

• Refine curation of the content to expand and optimize the information pathways

• Hire team for research, data entry and to keep content updated

• Deploy professional translators to improve the automated multilingual messaging

• Carry out active membership onboarding and participation through outreach campaigns

• Develop methods for Community feedback for further Gerolamo development and governance

• Build and publish Gerolamo human translated Landing Pages in multiple languages to increase the platforms' international online footprint and multilingual search engine optimization (SEO)

• Single resource for Cardano and Catalyst information delivered in a multilingual interface.

• Reliable way to connect Cardano communities across the globe, enabling them to interact together on a single platform.

• System to engage and reward the Gerolamo Community for their contributions to the site (work and content)

• Gerolamo Community feed-back loops to guide further development and set community governance standards

Phase Three: Fund 8 and the Future

For Fund 8, we already have our sights set on the next objectives.

We intend to request additional funds to continue further development of Gerolamo in order to deliver a fully functional Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO).

As stated earlier, we plan to turn over the majority ownership and governance to the Gerolamo community. With this objective in mind we have included a simple "Community Feedback Page" to help us gather opinions through surveys, voting and suggestions relevant to this process.

Community Feedback Page: <https://gerolamo.org/feedback/> (Registration Required)

In addition, we have more commercial features, that will be launched to compliment Gerolamo.org such as a Jobs portal and Business Directory which will give members even more opportunity to collaborate. Plus, added a Helpdesk where members can raise issues about everything Cardano and Project Catalyst to gain support.

To manage more transparently and precisely the future decision-making processes we intend to pursue the following components:

• We will be launching a Native Cardano Token called "Gero" that will be used to govern the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO).

• We intend that the White Paper for the launch of the "Gero" Token is partially written by the community and the Tokenomics are decided by including our existing community hubs and the general community.

• All documentation will be multilingual to ensure the widest possible international participation.

• We intend to create a Gerolamo Stakepool, and the DAO will become a Stakepool Operator (SPO) with the profits used to build the DAO and the community.

KPI (Key Performance Indicators) - How will we know we are succeeding?

The effectiveness of the Gerolamo platform and its achievements will be easily tracked as they will be evident through the public online presence and social media. There will also be data available via analytics tools such as google search console both on site and off site.

In addition to usage data and numbers of registered users on platform, our results can be judged on the following criteria as outlined in the challenge:

• How many new Cardano Community Hubs do we establish in the next 6 months?

• How many businesses or organisations do we attract to become digitised using the Cardano Blockchain and accepting ₳DA.

• How many new Haskell and Plutus developers, and their applications, did we introduce into the Cardano ecosystem?

• How many people of Cardano ₳DA opened new Yoroi or Daedelus wallets?

• How many external organizations did this community-focused challenge bring into the Cardano ecosystem?

KPI - specific 6 Month Targets

• A target of 1,000+ new Registered Community hub Members with wallets & ADA

• 60 Active Online Community Language Hubs with at least 4 members each

• Human translated Landing pages in 60 Languages with initial content

• Fully developed Information pathways for individuals, businesses & developers

• Completed Cardano and Project Catalyst Information (validated and updated)

Updates on our targets: <https://gerolamo.org/our-projects/our-roadmap-milestones>
