Applicant is requesting $25,500.23 to run a hackfest in Rome that aligns with and amplifies the benefits of ZEC Dev Summit, EuroCrypt, and ZKProof8. Gguy: I think this proposal is quite reasonable and I’m looking favorably on this grant. I approve. Hanh: I approve. For one week of work it’s quite reasonable and it could create significant interest. It would be good to have something with the developers probably coming for the conference. Decentralistdan: Excited for this initiative and the outcomes it may produce. I approve as well. Artkor: It’s a clear practical initiative with a reasonable budget. I approve. Zerodartz: I also approve. The more the different teams get together and can collaborate in real life the better for Zcash and the budget is very reasonable. Approved (unanimous)
