Hackathon are completely necessary. The impact it makes on developers and the call it makes is of great importance to the future of Polkadot and Kusama. This type of competition encourages learning and teaches us the different ways of facing a problem and looking for solutions, as well as discovering users with good ideas to enhance the blockchain. As stated in the document, Latin America is a place with many developers, many diamonds in the rough to be discovered... Regarding the organizers, I have had the pleasure of seeing their work up close and they have shown that they are professional and efficient. I'm glad to see well-known names within the ecosystem so it puts me at ease and I know the quality of work is going to be great. I was surprised to see that the NFT issue is being addressed, finally it is beginning to be given the visibility it deserves, it is a cutting-edge technology in Kusama and a great tool that everyone will use in their day to day life in the not too distant future. I will be attentive to follow your work.

I fully support the proposal because, as stated in the discussion, there are very talented developers in Latam and they are potentially valuable capital for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. A hackathon is the best opportunity for these developers to become familiar with Substrate and enter the ecosystem.
