1 year ago MW/Grin Workshop+Hackaton in Istanbul.
There is a good chance that we can have a 5-day Mimblewimble/Grin workshop in Istanbul. It would be an effort of a group of well motivated students from the following universities: Boğaziçi University, Yıldız Technical University, İstanbul Technical University and ODTÜ Technical University. The same group of students have already held other events of the same type, for example, they recently held an event on Blockchain and the topic was Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
The estimated date would be around May 2023. The workshop would be given by @marekyggdrasil and would cover different topics based on Mimblewimble and Grin. Following the workshop, there will be a hackathon of two nights and 3 days (Friday to Sunday) where students will be able to put into practice what they have learned. In total, 7 days of pure MW/Grin.
My suggestion for the hackathon would be to take one or two of the current rewards for the teams to complete. Another option, could be to contribute to the implementation being written in Python, or to solve an issue in the repository of the Rust implementation. Some extra would be to take an RFC such as early-payment-proofs, and someone could write a PoC and an analysis of it. I don't know, I'm just venting ideas.
Personally, I don't see any reason not to sponsor the event, but I would like to hear your opinion.
