DIPs

DIP stands for Devcon(nect) Improvement Proposal. A DIP is a proposal put forth by members of the community describing a desired new feature or process to improve Devcon(nect). A DIP should be concise and provide as much information as possible as well as a rationale for the proposal. The DIP author is responsible for making the case for a proposed DIP, and community members will be able to comment on it. It is up to the Devcon(nect) Team to choose which proposals are considered, reviewed, and accepted.

Give Devcon participants a taste of a regenerative economy, by allowing them to offset the carbon emissions associated with the event, as part of the ticketing process.

Audius has lots of freely-licensed music. Audius is also built on Ethereum. Audius could be used at Devcon to play music during downtime.

Winding Tree offers Devcon attendees to book their stay directly from accommodation providers with discount. 0% commissions are paid to intermediaries, a 1% treasury contribution is made that fuels the community chest for the development of the platform.

We set up [Planetscape][planetscape], a dystopian escape game for [36C3][36c3] based on the dreadful effects of climate change (CCC did not sponsor the game). Planetscape is organized in 20 chapters, and requires players to solve quests in real life, explore the congress to find hints and interact with people. Planetscape had 20 levels, 254 players, [1300 transactions][ps:transactions] to the smart contract, and 7 teams finished the game and claimed their prize. The players" feedback was heartwarming: "We were about to leave the congress but we found Planetscape, and we stayed longer to play!", "Please make another escape game for the next congress!", "This was the best thing of the congress", "Highlight of this year" ([tweet][ps:highlight]). During the game, players:

• Discovered new areas and activities, the game kept them engaged with the event. - United forces with others while playing the game. - Understood and enjoyed the theme of game.

Status wants to offer to Devcon attendees a keycard (https://get.keycard.tech/). This card: - is a hardware wallet with a face value of 29$ - helps user downloads status app, which can be used on the show - allows any dApp developer to develop applications that interface with the card with the tap of the card on the browser Such a dApp could be a redeem dApp, developed by Status, this dApp allowing users to retrieve assets coming preloaded with the card on the wallet of their choice.

Implement an attestation-based ticketing system on Ethereum for Devcon. The solution will use two attestations, a ticket attestation and an email attestation, to verify the authenticity of a ticket holder for both on-chain and off-chain use cases. This system will function independently of Pretix.

The main objective of this DIP is to replicate the experience of using POAP in Devcon 5 (Osaka). This being establishing the process for which every attendee gets one (and only one) POAP redemption code when they show up at the registration desk.

Devcon 6 is in 2021, a small virtual version on 2020 can help to test streaming, consensus rules on talks, and anything that could help to improve the experience for next year"s physical event.

Status as the communication layer for Devcon (on the ground and for satellite events). Utilizing Status as the layer into which many different projects showcased at Devcon plug in for maximum usability.

As a continuation of a tradition started in Prague, let"s have an escape room experience at Devcon6! This time, however, the mechanics and story of the room should be fundamentally crypto.

Addition to CO2ken"s DIP–1 clarifying the collection and allocation of offsetting contributions through a DAO which gives contributors the possibility to vote for the offset projects they want to support.

The on-chain ticketing solution that GET Protocol offers could be the perfect fit for Devcon 6. It already meets a lot of the requirements and the team is likely able to facilitate specific innovative demands.

For all those people who wanted to speak, but didn"t get approved: Mark off space in the venue and allow for the submission of posters of their ideas / talks. Present the posters during the conference. Allow them to answer questions in allotted time slots, i.e. via Chat or Email.

A lot of people will travel to DevConVI. This will impose a number of risks to these people: flight Delays, baggage loss, theft, and others. We will build a decentralized travel insurance for DevConVI participants.

Vocdoni and POAP joint proposal to provide a universally verifiable, affordable and offchain voting system for DevCon ticket-holders. Supports quadratic voting and other governance systems.

This proposal aims to make Devcon6 carbon neutral. Event participants may voluntarily contribute to this goal using tooling that estimates their carbon footprint and make a contribution by transferring funds on Polygon. This DIP also aspires to pave the way to making Devcon events carbon neutral in the future and can be considered as a stepping stone to DIP-1 (2020-07-20) and DIP-12 (2020-10-22).

Hosting the agenda of DevCon on Swarm, and using Swarm for document sharing

OPEN SOURCED ART from the HEART OPENLY EXPRESSED, CREATED, and ENCOURAGED ART FROM THE SOURCE OF THE HEART

Simply a physical space Community Hub space set up. We would ideally like: - A clear area for standing networking - A seated area for roundtable discussions and relaxation - A few desks - Accommodation for a TV to assist with maintaining discussion topics or presentation slides. - A livestream corner which will connect IRL participants with people at home. We cannot offer an exact layout as we have not been given venue layout information.

This collaborative effort for the Design Community Hub proposes a gathering space for all things design at Devcon. Designers, creatives, founders, developers, and curious minds can stop by and learn more about the design process through interactive, engaging activities, or take a break from the conference chatter to create and play.

The Women Leaders in Web3 Community Hub will be the center for all communities striving towards diversity, equity, and inclusion for women in Ethereum.

Live UX research sessions by experienced researchers. The Ethereum community can get a reality check on the state of UX in this pop-up UX lab. Over the course of 2 days, participants are invited for interviews and/or usability testing of selected products

The Cryptoeconomics and Governance Community Hub, organized by SCRF and TE Academy, will provide a space for those who want to chat with experts and enthusiasts throughout DevCon. This Hub will offer office hours, networking, and hands-on exposure to some tools and products relevant to cryptoecon and governance.

A space dedicated to privacy and anonymity. We’ll have information, discussions and experiences related to choosing what you reveal, where and when - both on and offline.

The ZK Community Hub is a gathering point for various sub-communities in the applied ZK ecosystem. This includes communities focused around development and maintenance of proving system libraries, ZK circuit developers, ZK tooling, developers of ZK-enabled apps for either privacy or scalability, ZK rollup and zkEVM-focused teams, and more.

The Regen Hub is a safe space where Regens can meet, ground and build bridges. Regeneration in all shapes and forms is considered, with the goal of cross-pollinating inside and outside of the crypto bubble. Local regenerative initiatives and Colombian cultural heritage will be given a prominent place within the schedule.

As proposed in DIP-17 (Accepted) the "Climate Friendly Devcon VI" Dapp allows Devcon VI attendees to optionally compensate the carbon emissions associated with the event and their air travel to the event on-chain. Attendees who compensated (at least) their event emissions may mint a POAP as proof of participation. This DIP proposes that holders of this POAP receive priority treatment in the queue for vegetarian lunch on the last day of Devcon VI.

We propose to issue Devconnect co-working space tickets as PCDs, which would enable attendees to plug into a a structured network of ZKP-friendly data. If tickets are issued as proof-carrying data, Devconnect builders and community members will be generate cryptographic proofs about their activity at Devconnect that can be ported across other community platforms—event host websites, Telegram channels, and more.

An interactive game using ZK to prove points while protecting privacy. Attendees collect unique signatures from physical NFC cards, which represent attending events or meeting people, and are visualized as different "Jubjub" monsters. Attendees use ZK to reveal the number & rarity of the Jubjubs they"ve collected, but nothing else.
