🤔Who would participate in the 'Requests & Offers - HC/MVP'?

We have three groups of participants: Holochain Advocates, Creators and Projects and Organization Coordinators.

Holochain Advocates

These folks are keenly interested in Holochain and want to contribute to the ecosystem. While they might not understand developer-speak, they know that the need for a distributed and agent-centric Internet is vital to the future. Many understand that with personal agency Holochain creates more opportunities for a truly more collaborative world.

Additionally, some of these Advocates might have visions of building a hApp, with a good idea, or the desire to learn Holochain. They may want to become Creators.

Many Advocates have been early adopters, become Holo Hosts, and often invested in the various early projects. Holochain Advocates want to be contributors, regardless of technical abilities, and want to support the broader vision of Holo & Holochain.

• Onboarded/Approved: Advocates are individuals passionate about the Holochain technology, and looking to support projects within the ecosystem. They are onboarded and approved to participate in the network by the network's administrators.
