Most if not all campaigning happens behind closed doors. However, the biggest disconnect between technically competent hive stakers like @blocktrades and non technical like @acidyo is obvious. Right now the only thing the non-technical can do is see if the technical like it or not. So the next step due to how busy the technical are is to campaign out to them in DMs, which they are already too busy to see. And with how many technical there are, you can just imagine how many private DMs there are.

If possible I would highly urge @ecoinstant to be part of an AMA along with @thecrazygm so that everyone can get their questions in. Writing a proposal while is not easy does not completely highlight the competency of the team.

For instance, replacing Beem with a new Python library is a BIG and much-needed move. @brianoflondon is someone who uses Beem regularly and has had administrative trouble with Beem. This is something I believe he is highly competent to assess.

I would also add that if there are new devs who want to build on hive, Beem is very dated and most people have trouble working with it.

Case-in-point: I was a judge for a Hive Hackathon taking place in India, and of the 22 projects assessed, not one was built with Python. Considering that Python is the number one language used in the world, this is a travesty, as we are unable to cater to anyone who uses Python.

@ecoinstant Maybe put the date of the AMA in the proposal, this way everyone knows WHEN and WHERE to ask you questions.
