Closing Bounty 39. BD (Business Development) Bounty?
It seems like this bounty doesn't have neither proactive activity nor reactive activity as there is only one child bounty granted.
https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/39
https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/child_bounty/1445
This bounty was meant to be reactive to other external business development efforts but in 8 months it's had no activity. We would like to hear if there are parties interested in the funds of these bounty because as of now all active BD efforts don't depend on it as they are working in parallel and with more specific goals. Otherwise, we'd like to hear if there are grounds for closing this bounty due to inactivity and lack of impact on BD efforts. A poll is included on this discussion, Voting AYE means closing the bounty NAY, means leaving it active but more than anything, we would like to hear the reasons why this bounty should or shouldn't be closed.
Let's kickstart the discussion.

No activity in 8 months = close it.

Wondering if there is a hard limit that can be included into the bounty best practices document. 🤔

The fact that this bounty was opened by none other than the man himself "Giotto" means it should be closed. From DED, to Marketing Bounty, to Games Bounty, to the HA program, pretty much any ref he touches turns to well, (please excuse my French) SHIT. Why start a HA program when we have a BD bounty to begin with? That's Giotto's logic for you. He is incompetent at best, and a saboteur at worst. Shut this thing down, we need to restart nearly all outreach programs in Polkadot.

The question still remains as to what Giotto program is actually effective 😅
Yesterday the attempt at conversation with Stringbergman before he turned toxic, the events bounty and the meetups bounty were mentioned, which might have some validity due to their limited scope even though the events bounty has a large budget.

Possibly events and meetups but mostly limited to that size and nothing more in range or scope seem to be the best approaches to bounties. Everything going for a more ambitious size without scaling it first, sounds like a flawed approach as coordination is never reached efficiently.
