We liked the fact that someone involved with Kodadot's success, with full time availability and well defined geographical focus is applying to be HA. We consider that a push towards further physical spaces, meetups or hubs in Central Europe (considering that synergy from the meetups's bounty can be used for that) can be extremely sucessful.
This was mainly Solana's selling point in expanding regions. https://x.com/solana/status/1809976699674866144 these began a few years ago as BD/physical hubs for devs/meetups and became commonplace in the UK and elsewhere and now they are their own development/BD force. Seeing that in Central Europe and beyond would be a massive win for Polkadot in our view. For reference, Solana continues doing that in different new regions.
We're looking forward to seeing these plans come to fruition. .

Luu is a great asset to this program, she is the most preferable candidate to me.
Hi Luuuu! I am HA for Japan, and welcome you to program! I think you have done many good thing for Polkadot, also i think Polkadot need more woman! i support your application with 5000 DOT voting. I don't have more, but hope it help!!
I read the above enthusiastic support and I'm confused why there would be anyone so strongly opposed as to vote 18M DOT to prevent this passing without any comment.
Just_Luuuu is among the best Ambassadors I have nominated in the previous program. She is active for quite a few years and proved her skills and impactful contribution. A big Aye from me!
