good

hi @beauknows, welcome to SteemIt! Not sure if you're asking about contributing to the Utopian project itself or using Utopian to post about contributions to other open source projects (it's very "meta", i know).

For some tips on contributing to open source projects, my first tip is that it's really a lot of work to make meaningful contributions. So I wouldn't do it just because you want to post on Utopian.io (even though I think that's happening a lot right now due to the bot's large upvote) but because you're really interested in contributing to a project and would probably have contributed anyway without Steem or Utopian.

Generally open source projects are software development oriented, so it's a lot easier to contribute if you're a software developer. But even if you're not there are still ways to contribute and add value. You can provide ideas, test the software for bugs, create graphics, promote the project, etc. You'll find all of these are contribution categories on Utopian.

I noticed from your profile that you're interested in chess, so perhaps you could search on github for some popular, open-source chess projects that perhaps you could lend some of your expertise to. Again - it's a lot of work to provide meaningful contributions, so i would only do it if you find something you really want to work on.

Anyway, hope that helps - let me know if I misunderstood your question. Good luck with your 100 day steemit challenge!
