These are all good ideas. But I think they work because organized by @sn team? not sure...
I've been running events since the beginning of the territory inception and had not got many interactions or feedback, maybe because there's not many designers around?!
So, I'm trying different ones:
  • The ODCs: a series of Open Design Challenges (not competition) open forever, so anyone can submit at any time. I send one out every week on Mondays with no rewards, hoping that the SN community itself will zap the most valuables based on the provided value of the participants.
  • The FUCs: on the same principle, still being an open challenge but run on a daily basis. Specific to designing Ui elements, kind of small exercise to keep creative muscles fit :)
  • The JABBBs: run as weekly bounty every Wednesday, I tried with this to embrace a broader audience, opening it to memes (not just comic). It's a way to make use of the HereComesBitcoin stickers
I also recently dropped the daily/weekly conversations posts as never got many responses either. I'd be interested to receive feedback, maybe there's something I could improve and engage with more stackers?
