Grants:Project/Rapid/Sovereign Stacks

Rapid Grant application: Tell us how you'll carry out your project. What will you and other organizers spend your time doing? Sovereign Stacks Berlin is an immersive two-day meet up event in Berlin for technologists focused on sovereign solutions planned for April 2020.

We are bringing together builders of (open)hardware, protocols, software, and designers to collaborate on technology projects that protect the interests of people. The event is being designed by a cross-section of domain experts.

We would love support on venue costs from the Rapid Grants project, as well as to share Wikimedia's initiatives with the technologists in attendance for them to go on to apply for other grants and contribute to building solutions that support this values aligned effort.

How will you let others in your community know about your project (please provide links to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions)?

sstacks.berlin is the event website. We can gladly add the wikimedia logo if working together.

Why are you targeting a specific audience?

To allow builders to share a sense of solidarity on what they're working on and spark collaborations.

What will you have done at the end of your project?

Catalysed technology projects that provide the infrastructure to support the free and open internet.

How will you follow-up with people that are involved with your project?

Mailing lists. "Advisory" style support to help them progress.
