🎯 Turning an early-stage idea into a structured funding proposal

@gimbalabs was proud to be represented at @linuxfoundation Open Source Summit North America by our Lead Educator and Facilitator Harsha Gullapalli @HarshaGulla, sharing perspectives from years of building technical education and developer onboarding pathways within the Cardano ecosystem.
The event created space for meaningful conversations with developers and open-source leaders from around the world, opening the door to new ideas, collaborations, and opportunities to connect broader open-source communities with the work happening across Cardano.
We're grateful to be part of a global conversation about how we make contribution, learning, and participation more accessible to everyone.
A special thank you to @IntersectMBO and the @Cardano_CF for supporting this initiative and helping create opportunities for the Cardano ecosystem to engage with the broader developer community. And congratulations to @Tmacqt87 for leading the way and move this initiative forward.
@TapTools We can't afford losses like this. We need more wins. Hopefully we can band together as a community and move Cardano forward despite these challenging times.
