Utopian.io is the only platform rewarding Open Source contributions with Steem. What I am writing now is a development contribution for the Utopian.io project itself, that is of course Open Source.

Contributions To The Moon!

I have just reviewed and merged and fixed a bunch of PRs for Utopian.io and the Utopian API. I was not looking there for a few days and I have found a lot of spontaneous contributions!

The Utopian Concept Works For Utopian AND For All the Other Open Source Projects.

We have officially reached more than 1000 contributions spread across 8-10 projects. A lot of spontaneous contributions for them!

...And this is what @fabien wrote about the value Utopian.io is bringing to Busy.org

Wonderful Projects Come To Life on Utopian and/or Grow! Grow! Grow!

Some of the new projects on the platform you should look at:

There is Even More

The amazing @mkt and @auliausu have almost completed the Utopian landing page that will be published very very soon.

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@mkt/utopian-io-official-landingpage-contributor-report-6

....And the Utopian Weekly. A newsletter published by @utopian-io to bring awareness about the best Open Source projects and contributions in the Utopian.io platform.

Show some love and upvote these contributions!!

Oh But This Is Just The Begin..

@nelsonm is working on a COMPLETE RESTYLE of Utopian.io that is gonna be a ground breaking change for Utopian.io and the Open Source community in general. We will push the new layouts quite often to get feedback, but to give you an idea:

• A new homepage to showcase the best projects, contributions and the most recent activities
• The possibility for the project owners to take full ownership of their projects and publish: Updates, Tasks Requests and Contributions
• A full integration with the best tools out there, like Github, CrowdIn, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Behance and much more. Utopian will be the bridge between the tools you use to contribute to Open Source projects.
• A way for project owners to create Bounties on tasks requests and to reward contributors AUTOMATICALLY.
• Direct Delegation to projects
• On-project Moderation

Are you ready?!

And @stoodkev Is On The Bot!

We are having so many contributions we have decided to completely change the bot in a way that everyone gets voted. Will be published early next week.

If You Have Not Noticed Yet

We got MORE THAN 3M POWER DELEGATION.

Recent delegators:

@misterdelegation: 1M
@ned: 1M
@wackou: 100K
@cryptoctopus: 70K

And the rewards in Utopian are flying!

We Have A Competitor Or Maybe Not?

Yesterday I found out there is a competitor trying to do the very same thing Utopian.io is doing. Here it is: https://fundrequest.io/.
I was surprised at the begin...but you know what...THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ICO...Utopian.io instead may not be perfect YET but...

IT IS ALREADY HERE AND IT IS HERE TO STAY!
