This may have seemed like a quiet week for us at Utopian, but appearances can be deceiving. We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on things we can’t announce yet, and preparing for Steemfest. But we do have a couple of major task requests and a brand new VIPO manager. And we’ve had yet another huge episode of our radio show. Let’s catch up.
In this post:
- Two huge tasks
- Welcoming @lovenfreedom
- Upgraded nodes
- Build Utopian.io v2 with us!
- Huge radio show episode!
Two huge tasks
We have great task requests just about every week these days, but this week stands out. The first of the two major tasks comes from our friends at the European Commission EFTG Project (European Financial Transparency Gateway)-Project), who have a TR to develop a live witnesses status monitor map in the Block Explorer web interface.
The second major task requst comes from our very own @knowledges, who is putting up a massive 800 Steem bounty for a big task: Improving @knacksteem’s front end. The bounty is split up into specific tasks as detailed in the post. knacksteem is a great Steem condencer by one of our key people, and we are delighted to help facilitate this request.
Welcoming @lovenfreedom
As you may know, we’ve been looking for someone to take over our VIPO (Very Important Task Owners) club. That position is now filled, as the excellent @lovenfreedom has taken it on. @lovenfreedom, the self described lady farmer trapped in the matrix, is a moderator for our new Anti-abuse category, and a veteran abuse fighter on Steem. She’s super smart, very talented, and we’re absolutely delighted to have her on board. This is the last major position we were looking to fill before Steemfest and Utopian V2.
Upgraded nodes
As detailed last week, we’ve stepped up our game as a Steem Witness. As part of that, we’ve now upgraded our production, backup, and seed nodes to version 20.6 of Steem.
Build Utopian.io v2 with us!
As you probably know, our development team has been hard at work in creating the base for the next Utopian.io, with features and functionalities requested by the community. If you’re a developer and want to help, visit our repo and take a look.
Utopian.io Open Source Radio Show on MSP Waves
We had another great radio show this week, which ties in very nicely with our news. We had @anthonyadavisii, founder of @Steemflagrewards - a project that our new VIPO manager has been heavily involved in - and @knowledges dropped by to talk about knacksteem.
Be sure to tune in next week at 6PM UTC on Wednesday on MSP Waves!
