Hi there
Did you receive any funds from Kusama or Polkadot in the past?
Did you receive any funds or grants from any other eco-system?

To continue our point presented here: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/2777#gm90PHJmHQeCXIKSKtgK
We'd prefer to have the bounties take charge of this effort. Unlike Arbitrum, Polkadot has bounties which are specific activity sub-treasuries that we deem are more suitable for this referendum in particular.

Not only newcomers are redirected to these bounties but pretty much everyone who wants to create events, marketing material, media, etc. are heavily encouraged to use them.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Small Spender track requires 50% participation and simple majority of all voters according to our voting policy. This proposal has received zero aye and seven nay votes from ten members, with two members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

In the referendum, several voters expressed concerns about a proposal focused on educational initiatives within the Polkadot ecosystem. Many abstained or voted against it, questioning the quality and quantity of the proposed videos and courses, and suggesting a need for a clearer strategy that prioritizes development and project onboarding. There were calls for smaller, more sustainable requests, with some advocating for a bounty system to ensure accountability and value. Overall, the sentiment leaned towards skepticism regarding the proposal's potential impact on the community.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

Kind regards,
Permanence DAO

First of all, great to see Folks from other ecosystems joining in here and proposing their help in growing Polkadot. Hope you guys figure your way to build some bridges across Polkadot & Arbitrum. A bit familiar how governance and such works over there, some good work :)

Anyway, voting against this proposal and agree with other rationales on this proposal which suggest going to the respective Bounties which may be a much better fit for you.

Also, when it comes to university thingies, you may want to reach out to PBA and see if there could be some match for collaboration or so.

GM people,

After receiving constructive feedback from the community about our original proposal, we're back with a smaller marketing child bounty request of 4,998 USDT. This focused initiative will help us demonstrate our commitment and skills in promoting Polkadot across India.

You can check out the complete proposal here: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/2868#cadfbac8-7ef1-430e-a0b8-3206c204ed7d

We presented this revised approach during last week's AAG call - you can watch the recording here: https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1898660031920226586

We welcome any additional feedback on the proposal before we submit it as a child bounty. Your feedback will help us refine our approach and ensure we're addressing what the community needs.
