[Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io) is making changes to give project owners more functions on the platform. We have exciting updates coming up that will help project owners better manage their Open Source projects on [Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io).

# An opt-in bug report feature for GitHub

We realized that project owners needed to be more involved in the contribution processes, especially bug reports. Therefore, to prepare for our upcoming whitelist opt-in feature made for project owners, we have currently stopped all bug reports from being sent to GitHub as issues.

The whitelist feature will enable project owners to opt-in and start receiving bug reports directly into their repositories as issues. We want to encourage close collaboration between contributors and project owners on the platform, and we believe giving project owners more control over this aspect will be beneficial. As they would have their projects officially present on [Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io), they can also leverage the other features we have to really control the development of their projects.

# Inviting Open Source project owners to get in touch with us

[Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io) wants to help move Open Source projects forward and we would like to invite Project Owners to visit [join.utopian.io/owners](https://join.utopian.io/owners) and get in touch with us. We will give them a demo on how the platform works, how they can utilize task requests and how they can get the most out of [Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io).

# Advising all contributors to get in touch with us about project owners they want to see join Utopian.io

We have put marketing structures in place for the easy onboarding of project owners to [Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io). If any contributors have project owners they would like to see join [Utopian.io](https://join.utopian.io), we ask them to [open a support ticket with us](https://support.utopian.io/hc/en-us) and we will help create an account for the project owners and give them information on how to get started on the platform.

***Let's make the Open Source economy a reality, together as a community.***
