Lately, the quest for a more advanced open source project here on the steem blockchain is massive, as people have come together from different backgrounds to complete the crowdfunding of Utopian Indiegogo campaign which has 14 more days.
It should interest you to know that the open-source model can be seen as a decentralized model that welcomes and attracts open collaboration which literally means "Reliance on goal-oriented productions or innovations whereby different participants from far and near will come together to a product that's of economic value, which will be made available to both contributors and noncontributors alike.
In an open-source project that's infused with numerous features and principles, one of the principles of open-source software is known as peer production. This means that products such as documentation, source codes and many more are made freely available to the public.
Utopian.io has painstakingly supported numerous open source innovations ranging from one field to another, even the non-technical members that help in contributing and providing the needed transcription and translation services needed by open-source developers have all received support from Utopian.io. This, to a large extent, is enough reason to help the company crowdfund the forthcoming campaign. The platform, which is an open-source community has built a high reputation for itself as evident in how far they have achieved, has what it takes to move the open-source ecosystem to the next level.
Utopian Colony is a collaboration platform made to boost the development and growth of open source projects. As a project owner, you can build and incentivize contributor communities through tips and bounties. You are not alone in funding your project, as everyone can tip the work done, while your project gains interest from potential investors. As a contributor, you can work anywhere, anytime, while doing something great: fast-forwarding the development of innovative open source solutions. source
The sole aim of Utopian Colony is to widen the mindset of open-source contributors to better opportunities thereby making them achieve their goals through community collaborations with fellow contributors and potential investors. I strongly believe that the Utopian Colony deserves all the support they need to make the open-source initiative easy and accessible.
Considering the feat they've achieved, rewarding thousands of contributions and all. Utopian Colony is still under development as they are trying and making attempts to better the project which will be launched in 2019 Q3 as stated in the project website. There's a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and the campaign will be over in less than 16 days and they are calling on everyone to join hands to make this campaign a success, even for the open-source community.
