This post will be very short. We could make all the necessary arrangements over the discord channel we have set up but, in order to keep the summer camp as transparent and public as possible, let´s put every step we take on the blockchain, agreed?
The previous Quest was about projects. Most of you got involved with the selection of the winning projects and it was with a reason... This Final Quest is about pre-developing these projects.
So, potential summer campers, here is the deal, so far we have four amazing projects ready to be incubated, supported and launched - if you work hard on them - so, this first step is about picking a project to participate in.
Note that this first step is only to CHOOSE which project would you like to get involved in, not to actually start developing it... just PICK the one you would like to participate in.
Speak Freely TV
CELF - Steem Powered art and culture
Alexandria´s library project
Steemit´s first NGO
The Steem Times - A blockchain based newspaper - No leader yet
Mistery Project 1: A project idea by one of your fellow campers
Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox
Free Project: A project that can be developed from scratch by those who decide to join this team
Now I know you might have some questions right now.
First, take into account that the first 4 projects will be lead by the person who came up with them, bear in minf that if you decide to join the team of one of these projects, you will have to eventually work with that person and work with that idea.
The project number five does not have a leader but as you can see, the idea is already there and some key points have to be met with the realization of this project. If you want to be the team leader or develop an idea that has room for any proposition, this is your project.
Projects 6 and 7 are yet to be revealed - which will be once we have the team ready. So if you are not convinced by any of the previous ideas, you can gamble and pick one of these two projects and work with whatever idea it is given to you.
Project 8 is for those who have an idea or see potential somewhere in our Steemcosystem. Bear in mind that if you pick this project you will have to come up with a viable project and develop it while the other projects already have an idea, so be certain you will have less time compared with the other teams.
This is not a trick question and we won´t base any decision on which project you choose, so pick freely and without hesitation.
Rule 1 - None of the 8 teams can have MORE than 2 persons from the same Quest. We want every project to have people that think differently from one another. We are hoping the teams are as varied as possible so the sinergy between the team is maximized.
Example: The best team will be the one that has and enthusiast from the travel, food and homestead Quest, the think out of the box people with photography and filmmaking Quest, the thinkers with philosophy and sociology, the dedicated ones with writing, a creative Steemian from the art quest and an entrepreneur from the project quest.
Not every project has to have one person from each quest and some projects can have more than one person from the other quests, but to be clear: A team with more strengths covered is more likely to develop an awesome project.
Rule 2 - There can´t be two Steemians from the same country on the same project. This is because we want the team members to think differently from each other.
How do you pick your project? Just state it in the comment section. Make sure to check out who is already on that project so you can fulfill rules 1 and 2.
I highly encourage you to not discuss with anyone which project you are picking until you comment it here. Why? Well, I like misterious people :D
You have 24 hours to pick a project, choose wisely.
In exactly 24 hours, @guyfawkes4-20 will post the Step Two of this Quest. After that, the Quest will run for 7-8 full days. Be on the lookout for his post.
Note: You have to have won a previous Sndbox quest in order to join this one, any comment from someone not eligible will be ignored :(
Steemit´s first NGO
My choice is this project. The topic is close to me. The area I live in has a lot of problems and I hope to change something here. Because I don't want to leave my village looking for a better life. I want people to be able to live with dignity where they are, to have equal opportunities to realize their creativity, their ideas, as well as residents of big cities.

Edit - (original response below)
If anyone's interested in going down route 8:
I do want to develop a 'Steemsociology' project - which involves developing methods and doing systematic research to provide a deeper insight into steem and its differential social impacts.
This is inspired by the fact that none of us here can answer either of these Qs authoritatively - 1. What is the class/ gender/ age/ ethnicity/ locality of the witnesses? 2. Why are there so many dead accounts?
There are many more such Qs...
If there's inteterest I can spend half my holiday (half term next week!) thrashing out a few ideas about how the project might enfold... steem lit review n cataloguing of good data posts already done/ liasing with the data guys - @abh12345 etc. / what we do and dont know/ what qs we want to try and answer... potential uses of interviews/ surveys etc..
I thought I may as well put it out there - the idea to use this as a spur only ocurred to me a couple of days ago.
And let's face it... we all love talking about steem!
original response
now my back up option:
Hi - I think I'll go with the Steem Times - The Newspaper - I've been thinking doing an 'in the news' type weekly post anyway, so this fits with the direction I want to take stuff. Looks likes it's got legs, or words at least.
Also I might even learn how to embed images to the side.

This is obviously a bit niche given the lack of response. So I'm more than happy to contribute to the newspaper and develop this sociology ide a in the slow cooker and open it up to a wider range of peops.
Cheers! I think I might might title my next vlog 'on the wierdness of replying to myself (although it's not actually as wierd as being auto-voted by a non-human)'.
I think snappy titles are massively overrated.

Hi @travelling-two. I tagged into the Steemit first NGO project pretty much strait away but as anomad said:
I think it would be a benefit to have two people from the travel category in this project especially given the aims of the project overall, and the need for writers (potentially) to visit and document the communities that the charity ends up helping.
Let's wait and see who else joins Steemit first NGO but I have a strong background (and blog presence) in creative writing as well as travel and was going to enter summercamp under that tag also but had family commitments that week that took me away from the computer. If it becomes a problem I might consider joining another of the wining projects.

Hi @raj808! Thanks for letting us know! We saw a lot of names tag the project, but we weren't too sure who was in which category. We were tight for time to check as we're in Vientiane for a short period, so not as active on Steemit this weekend. Therefore, we put the second category in for safe measure. If it's a problem, it's first come first serve, so don't worry 😊
We can always work on the project in a "non-official" way hahaha we shall see! Thanks for getting in contact 😊

Hey Tristan, no worries! We didn't think choosing a project would be part of the Final Quest, so as you know we got in contact with you about helping out with your project before. Regardless of what happens, we are willing to help out in an "non-Sndbox quest" capacity 😊 (If you would allow us 😜). We shall see what the outcome is. We're about excited to see what our second choice - the Sndbox project is all about too. So, we're happy either way, but having spent time volunteering in Africa and Asia, your project sparked our interest. 😊 Take care and have a great weekend!

How can we choose the mystery projects if we don’t know anything about them? Haha, just a big surprise?
I have started a bunch of initiatives myself, I’m curious if either of the mystery projects could work together in harmony with my current projects.
1 the Deadpost Initiative - a weekly contest to find payout rewards and readers for undervalued material which has past the 7 day payout limit.
2 Community Catalyst (@catalystproject) which is going to try and pool together delegation and gather manual curators/teams for various projects/tags starting with #nobidbot and #steemitzombies.
If it’s too late to be mentioning this, I suppose I would like to take a chance with mystery project number 2 or if that’s full, then mystery project number 1.

Rule two has taken my project idea by surprise, as it is focused on Latin America, and most of the Latinos participating in the summer camp are Venezuelan, but no problem, it's part of the game and we have to play it.
I dont think that it is better to have a bad plan than to have none, I believe that projects must have a definite vision but they must change along with time and circumstances to be successful, what I mean by this is that if some of you feel limited to participate in CELF because you are not from Latin America, you don't necessarily have to feel that way, we can work together to go further, beyond Latin America, and work together to make the project may impact Art and Culture in another countries.
As you can read in the proposal, one of our objectives is to grow the artistic niche in Steem by means of the manual curatorship of individuals specialized in these niches: visual and plastic arts, literature, music, etc.
At first, I just thought about Latin America, because I feel it gives it a social value and sense, but if we are able to build a team that can extend our vision to the whole world, why not?
I don't know exactly what are the problematics regarding art outside of Latin America, but I would say that they are similar, they are related to a centralization of the media that allows the promotion and financing of Art, Steem is a tool to solve that.
If you're okay with this, I'd love to work with you. Thanks.
