Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the development that is happening on the steem blockchain. Just when you think that you have a grasp of what's going on, a new project rear it's head and take you by surprise.
What Is Utopian.io?
Just as @elear mentions it on announcement post :
Utopian.io enables everyone to contribute to Open Source projects by providing Ideas, Code contributions, Graphics or Social exposure and be rewarded for that with Steem. A project is Open Source when its codebase is public. Most if not all of the Open Source projects are hosted on Github.com. Utopian offers a full integration with Github, allowing you to link your contribution posted on Utopian with an Open Source project hosted on Github.
It uses an interface that is identical to busy.org, it's intuitive and easy to use. I can see this becoming a major project in the future of open-source communities, especially if it integrate it's own SMT or allow each project to reward it's contributor with their own SMT.
I always dreamed that we could have a STEEM powered github but this is even better since it doesn't compete but complement an already existing infrastructure.
If you want information about this project, please read the original post here:

You are a minnow who want to get ahead?
First, please follow @elear and @utopian-io to keep in touch with the development. Then if you are a minnow that is having difficulty getting rewards on your own posts, start contributing to open-source project such as busy.
In the post Contribute to Busy.org and Get DOUBLE Rewards! @elear explains how you can make good $$$ by being an active beta tester!
Conclusion
The future is bright and I can't wait for all the wonderful project that keep popping up here and there. I remember when Ethereum was $2...how I wish I bought a bunch when it was that cheap...
Now that STEEM is here and that we are early, I think we all got our ticket to a wild ride!
