This is what doing it right looks like, for those of you following this weeks large scale debate between @timcliff and I, and all the problems you face and cite, @Elear and YOUR prioritization of them is exactly what I'm trying to get Tim to see about the greater ecosystem at large.

Build your culture, and tools and communities and retention and visibility and usefulness, then funds wont even be a question. And are rightfully low on your bullet list in order.

good work man, its been fun to watch all this time.

Old fashioned! There will be a time when the values that utopian is trying to export to the world will clash against the interests of many other in real life entities, the power of utopian will always lay in the hands of people who truly believe in the culture of open source, people who have a vision that one day utopian will allow the interconnections between people who share this culture. I believe that Utopian can be the matrix of all these promises, we are now in a phase where tenacity is greatly needed, people should really look beyond the incentives, everyone can share a small part of his time and get involved in something that will be greatly beneficial for many. As you said, we are living now in a world where software manages almost every aspect of the human life, and if utopian is planning to incentivize people to share their skills and knowledge to create and promote open source materials, this means the role that we are playing here goes way beyond the simple words that we are writing here. If the idea is really strong, it will survive through the ages.

Great vision ahead of us @elear. It is easy to lose sight of vision in the midst of solving many problems and difficulties, so this article is helpful to put the vision in front of us again. I see you empowering 'new' life to get the 'open source' movement going by uniting the Utopian community together to move this force. We are definitely moving forward.

For us open source is not about money, it is about engaging the world in a dialogue that questions the fundamentalist economy sustained by the ownership (and enslavement) of ideas. The dominant logical fallacy of the software industry can be found in their relentless endeavors to lobby for laws, tariffs and intellectual property accords that make it possible to “own” ideas and prevent others from using them. By stifling progress the giants of industry are improving their bottom line by selling out the planet. Where did centuries of this type of competition bring us? Dying coral, global flooding and cancer-inducing cities. Cheers to Utopian for helping us remember that the true value we have is to be found in working together.

Utopian is really amazing, I could have never imagined such a service existing when I first found it. I could now publish the work I used to just do in private repositories to the whole world to a community who will see and might use the software I make. It encourages me to make all my software open source.

I quite agree with your post @elear. It's really sad that a lot of good projects never see the light of day due to lack of recognition. I am glad that utopian is giving a breathe of fresh air to open source contributors by rewarding them for their hard work, but there is a need to help promote those outstanding projects that really stand out by helping them get visibility. Maybe in the near future utopian will not only reward open source contributors but also promote them.
