- Infrastructure: We can create a mailing list and chat channel (following the community-NAME convention), meetings and space on the wiki for each region. Without this infrastructure the only way we've been connecting people is through emails I send to people in the same region with the subject 'Building the Hyperledger community in NAME'
- Budget and Travel Support: We could allocate a portion of the Marketing budget towards funding things that would help these Regional Leads pull something together.
- Official community title: Hyperledger Chapter Lead is an official community role that someone can place on their LinkedIn profile. We could also provide business cards with the title information on one side and the Hyperledger Get Involved links on the other so that they can serve as a useful hand-out at events.
- Staff time: We can make ourselves available to Regional Leads when we travel so that they can organize a tour with staff members. We can involve Regional Leads in other aspects of our work as appropriate – for instance, would it make sense to have language representatives in the Marketing Committee call to help us bring our marketing efforts to non-English speakers?
- Training: We can provide free or discounted access to the Hyperledger certifications that the Linux Foundation offers. This will help make sure that the Regional Leads are knowledgeable and can act as on the ground mentors for the local community.
- Swag: We can provide Regional Leads with a swag pack when they join so that they can have a Hyperledger shirt to wear when representing the community and so that they can have swag to take to events that they organize and support.
