What is Utopian?
Utopian is the only platform rewarding Open Source contributions with Steem. A project is Open Source when its codebase is public. Usually Open Source projects are hosted on Github. Steem, Steemit, Busy, WordPress and many other projects are Open Source and hosted on Github.
How Can You Contribute?
Before submitting a contribution on Utopian.io you must read the rules READ THE RULES or either your contribution will not be accepted or the Utopian Bot will just ignore it and not super-vote it.

Just create a new contribution in Utopian.io under the category Idea/Feature and write about your idea in great details. The Utopian community will reward you for that.

Visibility
Are you pushing hard to bring new users and traffic to an Open Source project. Write about that via Utopian.io by creating a new contribution under the category Visibility by reporting links to posts you made via social networks, ads, promotional events, etc. That's what I am doing just now for Busy.org.

Interesting projects out there. With its vast coverage & opportunities for so many people to be able to contribute in one way or the other their ideas & knowledge to them its absolutely stunning. Being new here, it's just amazing to discover how there are several ways to engage the whole steemit community.
Im definitely making it more of a habit for me to explore what this platform has to offer & what i can offer to it too
hy @elear

I'm joining the channel right away.
Weldone @elear
Over to the chat room
Doing a great job @elear
very good topic i like it..
I'll stop by but I will register yet another bitch about steemit.chat in general. WHY do people use that piece of crap. This project needs a discord and soon!
@sircork we will have a discord as well
Oh thank god. I spend around 20+ hours a day in discord across about 14 servers, including one of my own for YouAreHOPE. I spend as little time as possible in steemit.chat for the #witness channel and run like hell as fast as I can away from it as often as possible. It's just so ghastly bad. :D
ehehe :DD I prefer slack on top of everything. Discord it's super cool but also a bit confusing for people like me who never used it before and don't have time to learn it
I end up having to run slack, discord, skype, steemit.chat and zoom (for video meetings with my partner) to accommodate everyone and everything I do. But around the steemit landscape, discord is the place to be with dozens of servers and thousands of users in there. Plus the wonderfully integrated assortment of bots that work between discord and the blockchain.
I'm in the middle of a 400 mile interstate move this week, from North Carolina to Virginia, as well as running my company and my charity organization, but when I get landed in about 7 or 8 days and settled into a new place in Va, I'll contact you directly to see about lending you a hand.
I too am a career tech vet (about 35 years in the industry now) and my prior work in the steemit community and what I'm doing next around here might have a connection to your work, and I think we should talk about that. In a nutshell, I built and then resigned from the largest commercially licensed 24/7 "radio" station based around the largest steemit user community in the ecosystem.
I'm now repeating that by building a new version under the YouAreHOPE header, and I think a segment or show about the open source movement you are spearheading within the steem ecosystem would have a strong place in that as a weekly show.
Give me a bit and I'll connect with you on that. I have some time later tonight, but I'm spending most of the day today, giving some bulky furniture away as I prepare to pack and move this week, so I'll be away from focus here for about 6 hours shortly. The longest I've been away even counting sleep cycles in about 5 months LOL.
Catch you later.
There you go @sircork https://discord.gg/72bPmxk
