This is our prop, so we are naturally in support of it. We're excited to see the entire Nouns community hyped around a single week event, building cool things, and celebrating the work everyone is doing.

Keep nouns weird. ⌐◨-◨

Imagine a world where voting does not exist. In this world, we would have no need for rules or principles. But in our world, voting is a reality. So we have a simple rule: we only vote against. We use a “Squad Vote” for each proposal. If more people vote against than vote for or abstain, we vote against on-chain. Otherwise, we abstain. This is our rule.

According to the “squad vote” result for proposal 253, which is 6 for, 10 against and 11 abstain, we choose to vote abstain.The viewpoints of our different members are as follows (source not listed):

Opinions opposing this proposal:

• The theme of Hack Week is not clear, and the proposal is a bit rough.
• Time. The poster indicates that it will be held from 3.27-4.2, which is very urgent. 70% of the effect of Hack Week comes from early preparation and BD, especially as an online hackathon, the promotion and BD time in the early stage needs to be longer.
• 99 ETH expenditure is too high. It's unreasonable to hastily organize a Nouns ecosystem Hack Week for about $200,000.

Supporting views on the proposal:

• A replicable growth model has been proven in the Nouns ecosystem. From Open Round and private voting research rounds, this is the best Nouns growth model. And every launch will attract enough attention and increase community cohesion. This proposal belongs to repeating an already successful model to promote ecological growth for Nouns with no logical problems.
• The difference in this proposal is that Hack Week will involve more operational work than Prop House rounds without promotion or operation; this replicable model can actually be optimized by Proposal 253 for mature growth within Nouns' ecosystem.
• Behind Proposal 253 are teams such as Nouns.build, Nouns Square, Grant Protocol etc., who together form a golden team among all proposals related to nouns - they are trustworthy due to their understanding of noun spirits as well as professionalism and execution capabilities.
• On another note: I am concerned that overly professional requirements for proposals may stifle community atmosphere. Many proposers have no problem with logic or implementation but may get bogged down in how professional their proposals should be instead of focusing on what's best for nouns.

I don’t disagree with the tracks myself and think this is a great idea so voting FOR but would advocate listening to the dissenting views and incorporating them into the final tracks we go with. trust the explorer grants team to handle that well 🙏

Too rushed, categories don't make sense, push it back a week and do it more thoughtfully to maximize the impact.

FOR - 38 VOTES

byhardy | "loved this idea from the first time martin posted it on Twitter. he's been grinding on it. absolutely huge idea that can bring a ton of positive attention to the ecosystem. win for everyone imo. can't wait!"

nonodynamo | "Seems like it just a lot of prop houses in one week. I am not sure it will get the best ideas because it is so much all at once. Or the right attention to the ideas."

AGAINST - 9 VOTES

Classic_Craig | "Would like to see Marketing added"

Generating lots of ideas and approaches around tools is key to evolving onchain societies and should be encouraged

Love this idea - I think events like these are great for concentrating collective energy around Nouns into singular moments, which can drive a lot of creativity and innovation. It also has the opportunity to attract a lot of new developers and creatives into the community.
