Utopian.io & Fundition Partnership

A partnership between two like-minded initiatives like crowdfunding platform like Fundition and Utopian.io is only natural, so this week we were proud to announce an official collaboration plan between the two.

With the aim of empowering open source projects and initiatives, Utopian.io offers rewards to open source projects crowdfunding their development on Fundition. Joining is simple, and you can find all the information in @fundition ‘s latest post.

Utopian.io v2 Beta Testers Chosen!

The massive support of - and response to - our announcement of the closed beta for Utopian.io v2.0 has taken us by surprise! While we may, eventually, be able to accommodate all volunteers, we have selected a handful and have contacted them already to get them started with their initial review.

We hope to expand the beta to additional members of the community as soon as we’ve located and fixed critical bugs and issues that will surely be spotted by our selected beta-testers.

Ten Thousand Followers Strong!

On July 24th (this week) the @utopian-io account marked 10,000 followers on Steem. Although this number is comprised of a percentage of inactive users and bots, we still feed accomplished at having made it into the 5-digit-number-of-followers club.

Fundition Campaign Updates: Accommodations Booked!

As the SteemSTEM and Utopian.io Italian meetup Fundition campaign continues, we make sure to keep our supporters (that’s you!) updated. This week we booked the accommodations for the Utopian.io team to also serve as the location of the Utopian.io mini-hackathon, scheduled to take place during our stay in the villa.

The location chosen, between Pisa and Florence and within short driving distance from Vigro Labs, is the scenic and historic town of Lucca. We invite you to support the campaign and discover all about Lucca in our latest update post to the campaign.

Oracle-D Joins the Utopian.io Innovation Trail

Oracle-D, founded by @anarchotech and @starkerz, is a platform connecting STEEM investors with content creators to provide professional content and marketing services to the agency clients. To help @oracle-d grow and to encourage content creators to cover the topics of technology, innovation and open source, we’ve added @oracle-d to the Utopian.io Innovation Trail.

It is important to note that only relevant content upvoted by @oracle-d will be included in the upvote trail, same as with all other initiatives included in the Innovation Trail.

Utopian.io Open Source Radio Show on MSP Waves

Our fun and crazy radio show is growing in audience and it’s not just because of the awesome giveaways raffled live on air to audience members. This week we hosted @punqtured to speak about the Byteball airdrop to Steemians and @holger80, author of open source Steem Python module Beem.

As always, we raffled out two Udemy courses to members of the audience, listened to open source news, and had a great time.

Be sure to tune in next week at 6PM UTC on Wednesday on MSP Waves!
