Sndbox Summer Camp: Final Quest - Step One

in busy •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Guys! First of all congratulations to everyone who won one of the previous Quests and thus, is elegibile to join this Final Quest.

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.

Rules

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.

Actually i feel closer to myself "Steemit´s first NGO" project and i choose this project. I hope i will be helpful for the group. [ ( photography contest ) Turkiye ]

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.

Karl. (UK, sociology quest obvs!)

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.

I choose speak freely tv please, second choice is mystery project 2! Gonna check out evecabs stats, and edit my reply if need be :)
Edit, as evecab won in homesteading as did I, I might not be able to participate in Speak freely TV. :(
All good though, I picked Mystery Quest 2 for back up and I'm sure it'll be awesome :)

I choose Speak Freely TV =)

Thanks @anomadsoul for always being amazing.

I pick Project : Steemit's first NGO
I am from Nigeria

Hey @phait, thank you so much for showing interest in the project! Hit me up on discord if you have any additional questions about the project :)

Okay.... Will do immediately. Thanks for having me on this one.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Hi fellow campers. My choice is based on what I can both bring to the project and, hopefully, to communities around the world as I set off on my travels at the end of the year. I have a background working in the charitable sector also so

Steemit´s first NGO

Is my choice to work with :-)

Country: UK
Quest Won: Travel

Thanks @raj808 and thank you for your insightful questions on discord regarding the project! Its great to hear that you have experience in charity and community work.

My pleasure. It is great to be on board :-)

Wow. Interesting! I love what people are turning this community into. I have this huge penchant for helping people. I chose Steemit's first NGO

Glad to hear it, how can we not use this amazing platform to help others right!

I see a lot of potential in affecting our immediate environments with steemit and the knowledge of cryptocurrency. There is something 'spirit lifting' in doing what you love and also affecting lives positively with it.

So, i am going for Steemit´s first NGO

Thank you for showing interest in working on Project Giving with us :)
One of my favorite aspects of the project is that it shows how Steemit can be used for positive developmental change around the world!

My choice was easy as this was one of my picks :)

I choose - Steemit´s first NGO

Country - United States

Winning Quest - Writing

Glad to hear it! I have really high hopes for the project :)

Me too :) I can't wait to get started :)

I would like to work with Steemit´s first NGO.

Good luck to all!

Thank goodness you are a dedicated guy ;) I look forward to working on the project with you!

Haha I am looking forward to that as well! Your project clearly deserve a lot of attention and support.

Hopefully, we're not too late - we would like to work with our good friend @tristanoliff's project Steemit first NGO. Let us know if someone else from our category took that spot and although we'll be gutted, we'll go with our second choice: Mistery (Mystery?) Project 2.

Came through via Travel/Food/Homesteading Quest and we're based in Bangkok, Thailand. 🇹🇭

Hi @travelling-two. I tagged into the Steemit first NGO project pretty much strait away but as anomad said:

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.

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 😊

So glad you two want to work on the project! Regardless of who the "official" two are, I'm 100% sure that your input on the project would be massively beneficial to it :)

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!

Well it is interesting what sndbox is thinking

So I'll go for a Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox

We better should get a nice camper to roll in!

hahahha I'm excited already!

Speak Freely TV

Mistery Project 2 (I guess)
Filmmaking - Venezuela

Iya choose free project

I choose CEFL, Steem Art and Culture... But I love The Steem Times since media is like my life. I am from Indonesia.

Even that only 15 minutes have passed was a very difficult choice to have

I choose: The Steem Times - A blockchain based newspaper

Writing Contest - Venezuela

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.

I'm going for The Steem News. Interesting week/s ahead!!

Travel from UK/Taiwan

Crypto is like gambling, so I'd like to choose Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox.

[Photography @ The Netherlands]

I imagine this goes without saying, but just in case, I choose Speak Freely TV.

Suerte @anomadsoul con este nuevo proyecto, no me involucro porque por ahora tengo muchas ocupaciones pero de ser posible en otra oportunidad lo haré. De todos modos cuentas con mi apoyo moral y espero que salga bien este proyecto. Saludos!...

Though a bit difficult to decide........................................
I am in Nigeria I particpated in the writing contest and
I go with Alexandria´s library project

First choice choice - Mystery project 2 - a project idea by sndbox. Second choice - free project. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺

This will be very exciting! Congratulations to everyone and good luck! 😀

I choose The Steem Times project. I love to write and I want to learn more so this is it for me.

Thank you @sndbox and @anomadsoul.

I choose Mistery Project 2: A Project Idea by Sndbox. I won the philosophy & sociology quest.

I am from Malaysia.
;D

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

My choice is The Steem Times - A blockchain based newspaper, this is the project that requires a software developer to make it work.

I choose Alexandria´s library project

I choose The Steem Times. I'm an artist from Indonesia, I think I can take a part in the project.

I think the project Speak freely TV would be very interesting! I hope I win that

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

After so deep consideration, ill go for the steemit’s first NGO as i feel i can contribute to and learn well from the team through communal sketching as well as my architectural design and philosphy experties. It would be great to be able to collaborate with my ongoing 4 years old NGO in Malaysia, the KL Sketchnation as i am directing it towards something similar to that project. :)

I'm really thinking about Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox but it looks like Mav has chosen this and we're both from the Philippines. If this is not possible then I'll go for Speak Freely TV. :)

Travel, Philippines

My pick is Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox.

Writing, Romania.

I Choose SpeekFreely TV
Filmmaking-Indonesia

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I'm choosing Speak Freely TV

Country: Malaysia
Winning Quest: Writing

my choice = The Steem Times - A blockchain based newspaper

Mistery Project 2: a project idea by sndbox!

i won in homesteading/travel quest and live in US.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I’ll go for the Mystery Project. I took part in the Photography Quest and I live in the USA.

I chose this one because I love a good mystery! The other reason is that I’m not very good at making choices!

(I forgot to clarify that it’s Mystery Project 2 by Sndbx that I chose. )

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.

Well, the The Steem Times - A blockchain based newspaper sound perfect for me :D So i choose that one

They sound very interesting all these projects, I call the tension the steem powered art and culture. Hopefully they are very successful and with great knowledge.

Hello friends i want to join the Mistery Project 2: A project idea by Sndbox ( photography contest )

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You will have to choose another option because there's already a photographer camper in that specific project. :(

But in the first rule : None of the 8 teams can have MORE than 2 persons from the same Quest . In this group only one photographer and i am the second... I think there is no problem if i am not mistaken

@artizm Well, you're right. Then I'll add you. But let's see what @anomadsoul thinks about it though.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I have to go with Nr. 3 ''Alexandria´s library project''. I think our history is a beautiful thing and the project spoke to me immediately! I hope I will be able to participate in part two and come through for the project because this sounds really exciting!

Edit: Writing quest participant

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

EDITED: I'm not going to be joining in this quest. Just doesn't seem the right way to spend my time.

good call in listing your quest and location :) amended mine to do the same.

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.

@leebaong noted my friend.

I chose Mystery Quest 2 by sndbx but you have not listed me.

I see you have listed me with other Mystery Quest. That’s OK then.

This is awesome man, I want to join the "CELF - Steem Powered art and culture team" if its possible :)
