It's been a while since I've been active on this forum, but I'm still playing 0 A.D. a lot and the project I'm writing about could potentially help 0 A.D. with some additional funding in the future. So, on the Steem blockchain there's a FOSS project called Utopian that helps out other FOSS projects by rewarding contributions. You basically write up a post about your contribution, which can be anything (development, bug hunting, translations, etc.), and they'll reward that post with a significant upvote. You're able to exchange the rewards you receive after 7 days and rewards range from around $10 to $70 per contribution. Would this be something that the 0 A.D. contributors are interested in? You don't need to register or anything, you can just start writing posts about your contributions straight away and get rewarded for them. More info on that here: https://join.utopian.io/ List of some of the contributions: https://steemit.com/trending/utopian-io Now they're also looking to build version 2 of Utopian, called Utopian Colony. This will be more of a social experience with even more funding options for open-source projects. They've launched a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGogo to make this happen and I'm personally pretty excited about this. In case anyone is interested in getting more information about this, here's their crowdfunding page on IndieGogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/utopian-empowering-open-source-innovation/x/4464230#/ Sorry if this post breaks any rules, it's not my intent to spam the forums here. I just want to share a potentially interesting project and it might be useful for people who are contributing to 0 A.D.

Very cool indeed, history and realism are overrated anyway

I usually send smaller armies from the beginning and then work my way to gain map control by focussing on getting more civic centers built. Once I gain the economical advantage, I focus on building larger armies and attacking the enemy from different positions.

Very interesting to read and I'm glad the money of the previous fundraiser is being spent wisely Kudos to everyone who volunteers and also Redfox ofcourse.

Pretty neat! I'd also like a t-shirt design though

I just wanted to add something that you might find usefull. I usually watch the roadmap to check upcomming features or bugfixes. Here's the link: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/roadmap This will also give you a somewhat accurate view of when a new release is due

Hehe, another Belgian maybe we should start a Belgian 0 A.D. (sub)forum Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae

I thought 0 A.D. had flattr in the past and it got removed. Since I've donated to 0 A.D. through Flattr before

Its always in Brussels, same location every year (I think), Vrije universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels) Yeah I meant you'd only need promotional material when having a booth there, but the lightning talks are for any project, finished or not. Sorry for the confusion This is the first year its in Brussels so I doubt it will be there next year. Just checking the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre_Software_Meeting

Yeah of course, plus you would need a lot of promotional material. It does attract a huge crowd and in terms of project visibility it really puts your project out there and will certainly get you lots of new developers. The best way to have a good first appearance on FOSDEM, is for example to give a lightning talk (15 minute talk), pretty easy to arrange

Will be present since its only about 30 km from where i live Too bad you guy's weren't at fosdem.

Age of Wonders 3 will arrive in autumn 2013, anyone planning to buy this game? What are your thoughts about it? Haven't seen any video's of gameplay though.. http://www.ageofwonders.com/aow3live/

Lion, I can't access the document anymore, I thought it was a really good idea and wanted to help you correct some of the spelling errors in the document. Any chance you could open it again?

LOL (sorry for this useless reply but I laughed so hard at this ) She is, but she's always willing to help with whatever I need help with
