We are proud and delighted to introduce a new member to our Very Important Project Owners (VIPO) club - Rocket.Chat.
While they are known on Steem as the engine behind Steem.chat, Rocket.Chat is a fast-growing communication and collaboration platform that is now installed on over 180k servers and counts over 10m users worldwide as well as having an active, passionate community of over 700 developer-contributors who help Rocket.Chat’s core team of developers to constantly improve the product. Rocket.Chat’s long-term vision is to replace email with a real-time federated communications platform and offer services to enable businesses to be built using Rocket.Chat, which can already be self-hosted or installed on cloud.
With 124 Github repositories, and over 20,000 stars in their main repository, Rocket.Chat is a true force in the Open Source world, and one that we are very happy to collaborate with.
With Utopian's help, Rocket.Chat hopes to reward their large and active community of contributors.
We at Utopian believe that a collaboration with a prominent project in the open source world such as Rocket.Chat can greatly benefit the Steem ecosystem.
We are very excited about bringing such a project into the VIPO club, as we feel this is the sort of collaboration that can create a truly virtuous circle benefitting both sides, as well as the users of and contributors to both platforms. We can't wait to see their first task request.
Project owners included in the exclusive VIPO group can add their projects to the whitelists of categories that require them, and receive professional help and guidance from our Community Managers in creating Task Requests on Utopian.io. With these resources, FOSS Project Owners can access the professional services offered by our community (such as graphic design, QA, visibility and copywriting) to help empower their project growth.
A special thanks to @gtg for helping moving this collaboration forward.
