PSA- My Witness votes will be changing starting Dec 2nd of this year
Please check out this post: https://steemit.com/minnowsupportproject/@minnowsupport/minnow-support-project-updated-witness-voting-a-public-service-announcement
It explains that as of right now @minnowsupport proxies to me and I vote however I want. We're changing that so that I'm going to proxy to @minnowsupport and the witnesses and moderators in the Minnow Support Project will vote based on witness applications to determine who the project will vote for and provide support.
Application process
Check out the post I mentioned it walks through basically providing a witness application to the Minnow Support Project and then we'll vote on it. The three main questions are:
How do you support the Steemit ecosystem?
How do you support minnows on the platform?
How do you support the Minnow Support Project?
We will vote based on your answers to those questions.
Yeah, I'll be applying soon too
Anyone that wants the vote, and I'll include myself, has to talk about what they pledge and how they will help. I'll be writing up a post about the delegations, radio shows, organizing, and what it takes to manage the 5000 active Steemian community of the Minnow Support Project. So, no one that wants a vote is excused from having to apply. I'm not looking for very specific things. There are a million ways to help this place, but it is a competitive process and we will be looking to support the people that either provide the most utility to the community or seem like deserving minnows who should get a shot to see what they can do for the platform too.
This is a great way of holding witnesses accountable. Great Change!

The great and intetesting information @aggroed.
Hi.
I have a suggestion.
I hear a lot when people are asked how they WILL help.
I am relatively new here and I would be interested to hear from the community how CAN i help. Specifically what is currently NEEDED. Then i can suggest what i CAN do for what is NEEDED. I'd like to be more helpful but I am not sure what I could do that would be the best ratio of highest impact for the society and my skills, expertise, experience and abilities.
Ok, i invested in the servers, i pay for hosting, I post some content, vote for valuable content that i see and resteem things of value in my opinion. I help others who ask questions in chat. I am not ready to do coding and scripting on the blockchain yet (or maybe never). Although I already posted some things that might help the developers to fix bugs and improve quality control.
I think it would be valuable idea to maintain a list somewhere of the current issues that need help or areas where more participation is needed. Maybe even people sending their complaints and suggestions.
I'd be willing to maintain that list by the way! Like a volunteering exchange where pleas for help are posted, moderated, sorted (to avoid multiple requests of the same thing from people who have not read the list carefully) and volunteers are connected with that list picking up tasks that they can do.
This way i think my contribution to the community could be effective.
Well, here's the thing about that approach. I'm not convinced it works in a volunteer organization. At work I can say here is what you have to do, do it, or I will stop paying you. I can't do that here because steemit is a volunteer org/community. So, my approach is to find people that are passionate about something, identify something they want to change, and the only thing they really need from me is support, encouragement and a few connections.
Managing people just doing their job is hard. Managing people that are passionate, understand a problem, and know how to fix it but need support is easy.
I have limited time and limited resources. I make a deliberate choice to maximize my time supporting highly productive people, minimize my time managing directionless people, and from the 4 months minnow support has been operating I'd say we've accomplished quite a lot under pretty challenging conditions.
Interesting

Hi man! I want to know, more info about who do you think your votes for witness will go to vote them too. You are deeply into the cncept more than me of course and as a reference I have my own made votes for the witnesses I know are helpful for Steemit, but have many votes that are without use and want to vote in a good way. So know who do you vote for witness will help me to know who to vote too. Peace!
