Christian abstains from voting because he plans to collaborate with them for his startup. Mario votes in favor. Easy generates a lot of good marketing for the Polkadot ecosystem and gets people through the door. However, there should be more clarity around the "120,000 developers". We both think that for the app, there should be more prioritization/focus on Polkadot Asset Hub/Plaza.

We think hackathons doesn't have a good ROI since there are no proper channels for developers afterwards. But generally support hackathons so decided the vote abstain.

I find the numbers (100K developers) unrealistic and view this effort more of marketing than specialized developer acquisition. It should be repositioned, and could even be considered under the marketing bounty.

I am leaning more towards the position of voting NAY on this proposal due to the fact that I share the view that the effort seems like something much more focused on marketing than actually a development issue.
