We propose the creation of a cardano community in the DRC to learn more about the Blockchain, to expand our knowledge, to be able to contribute to the development of applications based on smart contracts.
Creating a cardano french community is creating an environment encouraging African developers to massively adopt blockchain technology.
Africa is evolving more and more in technology, and several blockchains are already expanding their community in Africa. Nevertheless, very few are those who make resources available in French, which automatically excludes the Francophone community.
By creating a French-speaking community of cardano to share knowledge in French and thus create resources available on youtube, it is contributing to extending the Blockchain cardano in Africa starting with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
For the organization of our online meetups, we will invite experienced developers who have advanced knowledge in Blockchain to share their knowledge in designing applications on smart contracts for example and we also have developers who are bilingual and who are able to learn courses in English and share them in French in the community. Each session will be recorded and saved on our youtube channel to have resources available in French.
We will communicate our project through our various social networks so that any developer located anywhere in a French-speaking country in Africa can participate for free.
We also have a community with a telegram channel which already includes over 130 developers (https://t.me/uptodatedevelopers).
We plan to reach more than 300 French-speaking developers across Africa by December 2022.
This will allow projects and developers in Africa not to be isolated, but to belong to a growing network. The weekly meetups will serve as a networking opportunity for developers to come together to work on blockchain projects. They will continue indefinitely and will be hosted as regularly as the process allows.
The risk is to be able to easily involve Congolese and African developers in online sessions because of the poor quality of the internet connection.
To overcome this, we have planned to record each session and put the video on our youtube channel to allow those who missed the session to be able to download the content and follow it even offline.
There is also the problem of reaching a large number of participants, so we will share invitations to participate in our sessions on all our social networks to make sure we reach as many people as possible.
