My commitment to the community is evident through my involvement in projects like DeepVenture.io, MoonDAO, and DeSpace, and my contributions to initiatives such as Space Sustainability Twitter Spaces, DeSpace Fridays event series, and #GitcoinBeta Radio.\nContributions and Impact:\nDeepVenture.io: Served as a platform for organizing Space Sustainability Twitter Spaces, involving collaborative efforts with Decentralized Space projects like Cosmos4Humanity and Lunco, focusing on educational and promotional content how to converge Regenerative Finance with the Space industry.\n\nReFi DAO: Served as a Founding Steward for Space Founder Circles, facilitating dialogue, establishing community norms, and coordinating various initiatives to onboard more people to public goods funding with Gitcoin and attracted committed projects focused on Decentralized Science and Space Exploration.\n\n\nMoonDAO for DeSci: I led the last MoonDAO project to support public goods in Science. Played a crucial role in allocating and transferring sponsorship for the last DeSci Round on Gitcoin, contributing meaningfully to the community.\n\nDeSpace Fridays Event Series: Co-hosted and moderated, providing a platform for Space projects for further discussion and collaboration within the Gitcoin community.\n\nDeSci Stewardship: Elected as one of the 5 DeSci stewards, responsible for setting up rounds, reviewing applications, managing grants, coordinating marketing efforts, and providing ongoing support to grantees.\n\nGreenPill Germany #GitcoinRadio: Co-organized Gitcoin Radio in partnership with the Solarpunk Guild and GreenPill, involving daily Twitter Spaces discussions related to Gitcoin Rounds and the overall Regenerative Finance ecosystem in GG18 and GG19.\nWith the CoordiNATION between ReFiDAO, Regens Unite and GreenPill, I was iInvolved in web3 onboarding events in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, contributing at both local and global ETH events, expanding the reach and impact of the Gitcoin community.\n\nGoals and Future Contributions:\nDeSci QF: My aspirations are intertwined with the enhancement and progression of the Decentralized Science (DeSci) ecosystem through the DeSci Grants Round on Gitcoin. My objective is to utilize the DeSci Grants Round to ignite passion and innovation, enabling collaborative scientific pursuits and fostering the creation and dissemination of knowledge. This initiative is crucial for supporting groundbreaking research and development projects, especially those that may lack traditional funding avenues. By reinforcing the DeSci ecosystem, I aim to promote the principles of open science, facilitate the exchange of ideas and findings, and ensure the continuous advancement of science in a decentralized and inclusive manner. We#re actively looking for more community leaders to join this.\n\n\nDeSpace QF: In alignment with my ongoing commitment to the Gitcoin and DeSpace communities, one of my primary goals is to fortify and expand the reach of DeSpace Quadratic Funding (DeSpace QF) to support the burgeoning Decentralized Space ecosystem. Quadratic Funding is pivotal in ensuring equitable distribution of resources and fostering innovation within the community. By leveraging DeSpace QF, I intend to catalyze community-driven projects, facilitate collaborative endeavors, and amplify educational initiatives focused on decentralized space technologies and sustainable practices. For sure it\u2019s always starting with raising funds for this growing web3 ecosystem.\n\n\nCopernic Space: Building a marketplace for Decentralized Science and Space Exploration I decided to open source most of our achievement on the research side of the marketplace. With this we\u2019ll equip the Gitcoin ecosystem with capabilities to use Space technologies for their projects.\n\nSubmission Type:\nThis submission is mixed, focusing on both retroactive and proposed work, with a clear demarcation between the two. It rewards the individual Gitcoin Citizen for the contributions made and outlines the intended impact on the community by referencing measurable metrics such as viewers, participants, posts written, and number of likes and views.\n\nConclusion:\nMy varied roles and contributions across different communities reflect my unwavering commitment to the principles of open science, decentralized governance, and community collaboration. I eagerly look forward to the opportunity to continue serving these communities and further supporting the growth and success of the DeSpace QF ecosystem through this grant.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "DeSpace-QF", "projectTwitter": "Manuel Olariu"}, "recipient": "0xE862E2C1ca94eAcfEDe3c95a217c15EF0086a29D"}}
