Summary of Proposal

Create a symbolic ritual where the last Devcon city/country host brings its culture and passes the Eth values to the new city/country host of Devcon creating links among faraway communities.

Abstract

Starting on Devcon7 SEA the ETH•CO team wants to create a ritual of passing the torch as Devcon6 was held in Bogotá in 2022.

Motivation & Rationale

We are inspired on the original Olympics values:

• Encourage Effort (Excellence)
• Preserve Human Dignity (Respect)
• Develop Harmony (Friendship)
  unifying them with the Devcon objective of caring about technology impact & the Infinite Garden & Ethos of Ethereum as an equal opportunity technology for coordination and prosperity.

Implementation

This activity will be held ideally in 2 times:

1. Passing the torch

We would like to create a special moment where one or two representatives of the last Devcon pass the torch vibes to the new one.

In this case will be from Bogotá to Bangkok represented by ETH•CO & ETH PADTHAI community leaders with a short but emotive/inspirational speech immortalized with the physical ETH•TORCH specially designed by the talented @0xnats from ETH•CO @ethejecafetero community.

We believe this could become an optional ritual for future Devcon versions promoting union, harmony & prosperity.

2. Caring the torch during Devcon

We will be caring the torch during Devcon7 SEA in the GM Community Hub where ETH•CO will participate.

In this space we will be hosting a co-creation session of the Etherean Latinx community to share our learnings from the last 2 years since the last Devcon.

Timeline

September: Design of the ETH•TORCH & coordination with EthPadThai to receive the Torch during Devcon7.

October: Prototype & Production of the Torch. Define the final design, speech & representatives from ETH•CO & EthPadThai for the ceremony / symbolic ritual.

November: The ETH•TORCH will have a spot on the GM Community HUB(https://forum.devcon.org/t/closed-rfp-8-devcon-sea-community-hubs/3746) as a safe place to gather important conversations from Latinx communities & connect with Asia & Africa communities.

We expect to pass the Torch either on the opening or closing ceremony of Devcon7 SEA.
