[nacho.near]

Hello Aurorians! How is everything doing?
Here we are to report the activities done in August and in these last couple of days in September

To compare with our previous proposal:

3. Get in contact with influencers in LATAM.

We are currently working with influencers and leaders in LATAM to further develop the region. So far we have onboarded Aurora Brazil, Aurora Mexico, Aurora Venezuela, Aurora Chile, Aurora Peru, Aurora Argentina and Aurora Uruguay.
Both Uruguay and Argentina have to present their requests as well and create their community and are on track to doing so.
Chile and Peru were just included and we have to brainstorm their development on the region!

4. Engage and certificate students with Aurora Certifications (we have already an Instructor and developer in the Aurora Ecosystem with us, Dario Sanchez).
5. Doing workshops.

Regarding Certifications in Aurora we got in touch with OWA to help them create an initiative or a proposal regarding Aurora Developer Certifications (which will be presented later on). We are also in communication with Near Hacks to create a hacker house here in Latin America (most probably in Buenos Aires) to develop and code with Aurora.

6. Direct contact with guilds created and helping create guilds in Aurora.

Step mentioned above in our current telegram group and initiatives discussed with them before launching their proposals.

7. Participating in Meetups.
8. Latest News and Updates in Spanish.
9. Produce Content about Aurora in Spanish.

These last points can be seen in all the work provided in our Twitter which is the main source of information, content and news regarding Aurora in Spanish. Here you have it if you want to peek around!

Hello
How many Telegram posts were there during this period?
And the address of your telegram channel?

How many posts were on Twitter/Discord?

You requested funds and promised monthly reports.
Let’s stick to monthly goals.
Your report also includes half of the other month, which is not accurate for evaluating your actions for the month.

[nacho.near]

Hello @Vladislav_vl25 good to have you here.
Thanks for the notice when it comes to socials, I thought I had put them in the post above when I made the funding request. My bad! Here are all the socials up to now:

Aurora Latam ❇️

When it comes to post metrics:

Posts in Telegram. 67 until september 1st 35 until sept 12.
Tweets 158 throughout these month and a half.
Discord posts 41 until now.

Individual posts are a lot so we are not really making a tally since that is part of our job but if you need them those are the numbers. We do take into consideratiom AMAs and Spaces.

Finally I made a post about a month and a half and extended the usage of our funding for September included since we thought it would be correct to keep working one more month to accomplish said derivables instead of asking for more funding unnecessarily.

We completed our first fundings KPIs so we will plan accordingly for our next objectives.

Respectfully please, would you let me know what is not accurate? The timeline of our funding or the completion of our derivables?

[Vladislav_vl25]

Thanks @nacho.near

I would suggest more work with announcements in Telegram and Discord, so that all the hot news would not just get into the chat, but would be reflected in your announcements.

[nacho.near]

Hey Vlad

Great, will consider this and also make a thread of announcements and also pin them in our Telegram as well. Good thing to point out, thank you for the feedback!

[Vladislav_vl25]

Howdy,
There is also no information about prizes(winners) on AMA and how the grant money was spent.
No articles for August and only 1 for September.
