Greetings, Polkadot fam.
We are requesting the top-up of our Meetups Bounty #43. We would also like to implement what we learned in the first half-year of our existence. Small meetups strengthen the Polkadot ecosystem and help spread awareness. With a low budget, these meetups can make a significant impact by bringing people together to learn, connect, and grow the Polkadot community&mdash;especially in areas that aren&rsquo;t yet that active. This additional funding will help us reach more regions and support organizers in sharing knowledge about Polkadot.
Besides that, we are proposing a few changes to the bounty, such as changes in rewards for meetup organizers and curators and planned campaigns. We also took time as curators to go through the <a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1254">Bounty Compliance Standards</a> that Tommi recently proposed. We will update our public documents and improve reporting to achieve even deeper transparency.
