Hello everyone! This is my first weekly report regarding the Visibility Category of Utopian, and it will be a mini weekly for two reasons. First of all it was a rather quiet week in terms of relevant contributions and secondly, I am doing my best in learning more about Utopian.
I wish to work hard together with the team in order to bring more Visibility for the Open Source Ecosystem!
Some of my friends might not be very familiar with Utopian, so please allow me a couple of minutes for a short Introduction!
What is Utopian?
Utopian is a Social Platform, aiming to empower professionals for contributing to the Open Source Movement.
As stated at the website, Open Source is free, common property and developed by volunteers around the world and available for everyone. Open Source Software often runs in our computer, phone or tablet and its development relies on collective intelligence. All this work is done by the developers for free! Utopian educates, motivates and rewards everyone who contributes to Open Source Projects, provided that certain guidelines are being met.

What is the Visibility Category?
The Visibility Category aims to shed more light to the whitelisted Open Source Projects and to attract the general attention of end users around the world.
Contributions in the visibility category are (1) paid search engine and display ads placement; (2) paid social media ads; (3) posts to social media accounts with at least 10,000 unique followers.
You can click here and select Visibility to read the current guidelines (new ones are being worked upon as we speak). If you have a facebook page or are very active with a large follow on social media platforms, feel free to take a look and contact me about how you could contribute!
During the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing more posts with tips and information about how each one can help into bringing the open source closer to the end user!
