Proposal:#10 (motion 17)

Short description: Polkadot Meetup in China

8btc.com (the proponent)  hosted a Polkadot meetup in Hangzhou, China.

[8btc](https://www.8btc.com/) is one of earliest and biggest crypto media in China. 8btc was founded by Changjia and Jihan Wu in 2011, and translated the very first Chinese version of bitcoin whitepaper. 8btc is an information and education platform for crypto users and people interested in cryptos in China. In 2016, [8btc English News](https://news.8btc.com/) was founded to act as a bridge between Chinese and foreign communities. 

8btc is also a host of [Hangzhou Blockchain Week](https://www.8btc.com/gbsf-2020?lang=en) and [World Blockchain Conference](https://www.8btc.com/wbc-2019/?lang=en), which will be held every year. Besides these two conferences, 8btc will host plenty of meetups with different themes every year. [Chainge](https://www.8btc.com/author/61023) is the name we gave to tech-related meetups, which is also for the Polkadot meetup we are about to host. Chainge has seen most famous blockchain teams in China joined in, including IRISnet, Nervos and PlatOn.

As a validating node of Polkadot, 8btc appreciates what Polkadot brings to the blockchain world and Web3 development. Though Polkadot is already a well-known project in China, most people know little about the related tech and what Polkadot can bring to the blockchain revolution.

So the meetup named ‘[Polkadot and the Trust World it Brings](https://www.chainnode.com/event/469852)’ will get more people to truly learn about what Polkadot is and will be, instead of pure speculation. Hangzhou is only our first station, there will be more in different cities of China.

The meetup was from 1:30pm to 5:00pm, on Sep. 12th (GMT+8). Entrance was free and there were more than 130 people to attend the meetup.

Pls feel free to ask me anything. Thanks!

Polkadot Meetup in China - Proposal:#10 (motion 17)

This is a motion whose proposer address (13RDY9nrJpyTDBSUdBw12dGwhk19sGwsrVZ2bxkzYHBSagP2) is shown in on-chain info below. Only this user can edit this description and the title. If you own this account, login and tell us more about your proposal.

- On August 10-11, 2020, Web3Italy validators had problems with their network.
- This caused their nodes, or computers, to stop working for a while.
- Because of this downtime, Web3Italy validators lost points (called slashes) on August 11.
- A motion was made to cancel these slashes for Web3Italy validators.
- The problems were likely caused by issues with their software or hardware.
- Web3Italy would not have lost points if another incident hadn't happened at the same time.
- Web3Italy was offline for at least 14 hours.
- Council members are encouraged to vote and can ask questions via the Polkadot Direction channel.

slashIndices

During the evening of 10 August 2020 and the morning of 11 August 2020, Web3Italy validators suffered network flaps that caused their nodes to go on downtime along with other nodes offline. 

As a consequence of the downtime, Web3Italy validators got slashed on 11 August 2020, during era 69/70. A full report by Web3Italy can be found [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HzHJaSenHvghEAvP4isIXzbIK1LeefQ6/view?usp=sharing). 

Motion 16 proposes the cancellation of the slash events during era 69 and 70 for Web3Italy. Below a summary of the most important points raised on Polkadot Direction channel: 

- The cancellation is designed to only cover Web3Italy validators.
- The incident seems most likely related to an issue with software/hardware that had effects on both polkadot and Kusama, but affecting one network worse than the other.
- Web3Italy would not have been slashed if the Web3 Foundation incident had not happened at the same time.
- Web3Italy went offline for a minimum of 14 hours.

The motion is up for vote: all council members please review the information and cast your vote - for questions or comments, you can use the [Polkadot Direction channel](https://matrix.to/#/!OwgojQyBzTlUQGGLhq:matrix.parity.io?via=matrix.parity.io&via=matrix.org&via=web3.foundation) or this post.

- Patract Labs created a project called "Redspot," inspired by Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
- Redspot is a tool for developing, testing, and managing smart contracts.
- The project has several milestones to complete over a few weeks.
- They will create a local Substrate node and a public testnet named Jupiter.
- Developers will build tools to help create and test contracts easily.
- Redspot will also offer ways to compile and deploy contracts automatically.
- The total cost of the project is $29,000, and they are asking for 10,000 DOT.
- To show how it works, they will share a demo video and the project's code on GitHub.

** Labs Introduction & Overall Proposals: ** https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/15

## Redspot v0.1

Github: https://github.com/patractlabs/redspot

Patract Labs' first project is "Redspot", named after Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is also the largest DOT in the solar system. Redspot is inspired by Truffle (https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle) in Truffle Suite. Redspot is a development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for pallet-contracts. Redspot is trying to let the development of ink! be projectized and simplify the testing and interacting with contracts.

### Milestones : 3 weeks (20 Aug - 11 Sept)

**  M1: Testnet (1 developer * 2 weeks) **

1. Quickly deploy a local Substrate node with smart contract pallet that can be debugged locally
1. Launch a public testnet (named with Jupiter) with smart contract pallet, , and continuously maintain and upgrade it.

** M2: Environment (2 developers * 2 weeks)**

1. Provide command-line tools to pull resources from the network and build a local contract development and test environment by one command. 
1. Provide several built-in different contract template frameworks, such as single contract and multi-contract projects.

** M3: Compile and Deploy (3 developers * 3 weeks)**

1. Check whether the local Rust environment and contract development toolchain are complete
1. Automatically discover the contract code existing in the specified directory of the project, especially for multi-contract projects, support independent compilation between contracts, generate metadata, etc.
1. Support deploying contracts to the corresponding network through configuration files and command line options.

** M4: Testing (3 developers * 3 weeks)**

1. Provide a basic contract testing framework based on Mocha Assert or Jest
1. Support connecting different networks for contract testing through configuration files
1. Provide global parameters for common usage such as default accounts and network configuration, and provide some commonly used tools and assertion functions for testing
1. Get the deployed contract instance through Javascript and support simple interaction with the contract interface

### Cost

- Operating activities: $5000 ( Rent: $1000 per week, Servers & Devices: $2000)
- Employee payments: $24000  ( $1000 per developer * week)
- -------------------- +
- Total Cost: $29000
- Exchange Rate: $2.90/DOT
- Treasury Proposal: 10000 DOT

### How to Verify: Youtube demo video & Github source

1. Can simply deploy a local testnet to test.
1. Can connect with the public testnet (Jupiter) to verify.
1. Can generate a smart contract project's directory.
1. Can use Redspot commands to do “compile”, “deploy”, “test”
