<div>Hi Alper,</div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-attr="forced_root_block_attrs"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-attr="forced_root_block_attrs">Thank you for your interest in the Hackathon. For anyone else thinking about participating but haven't signed up yet, please do so here: <a href="https://forms.gle/pX2BmNjP4oNrW6bA6">https://forms.gle/pX2BmNjP4oNrW6bA6</a>. We need a solid head count before the end of this week.</div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-attr="forced_root_block_attrs">Awards will be determined by the judging committee after final presentations. Since we're just in the "proposal" phase, I would focus on the first two aspects of the project listed <a href="https://17th-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net/judging.html">here</a>. After project proposal presentations, participants will be able to join the project they find most interesting, so there is no guarantee that every proposal will lead to a project. You're welcome to propose multiple projects, especially if you have many ideas but aren't sure which one people would find the most interesting.</div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-attr="forced_root_block_attrs">Please also keep in mind that we will effectively only have about a day to work on the projects, with the second day usually only for polishing things up and preparing a presentation. Some of the best projects I've seen were small in scope but broadly impactful. For example, I still use ndn-cxx's logging, ndn play, ndncert-v3, and ndn-fch to this day, all of which were developed or deployed as hackathon projects.</div>

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" data-attr="forced_root_block_attrs">Regarding the proposal submission process, an example of a "goal of the project" would be "to make NDN-Lite easier to deploy". Can you please resubmit your proposal with a new goal, as well as a "Project Pitch" as described in the <a href="https://17th-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net/cfh.html">Submission Instructions</a>? I forgot to make this mandatory in the form.</div>
