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—especially in areas that aren’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 Bounty Compliance Standards that Tommi recently proposed. We will update our public documents and improve reporting to achieve even deeper transparency.

The more Polkadot meetups, the better! The costs seem reasonable to me, especially given that this fund is mostly for small events. Any large events requiring more money to cover costs can simply submit their own referendum/request for funding when that time comes. Keep up the good work y'all!
