By the way, I vote for you as a witness because I think it is an important task to vote for those unappreciated witnesses who are striving to improve Steem.
I also agree a lot with the opinion of @lukestokes, we need witness that handle very well both the technical and the social stuff.
I also believe that those witnesses who are doing great things for Steem and the community, should improve their marketing strategy, sometimes it is useless to do something good if nobody knows.
Thanks @joedukeg on behalf of the team behind @castellano
Actually that has been my main problem, to find the time to properly market and report our deeds for the community, I have always been a strong believer that results should speak for themselves.
Sadly the only results we have to show are the communities and subprojects built under the tiny @castellano's umbrella.
Hopefully it will be noticed with the help of users like you that take the time to share our deeds where it matters.
I might add that @castellano is a social experiment, where we aim to incite the users being part of the Spanish speaking community to be empowered to create representative committees bridging and helping understand the gaps between: Users, investors, projects and witnesses.
Our main areas of action are:
Educational projects to increase user understanding of the platform and encourage rewards reinvestment to increase the users stake. (like @reveur)
Sustainable projects to bring and retain high quality content creators, encourage reinvestment and investment in the platform. (Like @celfmagazine)
Curation projects that aim to reward properly good content and retain the best users, and are not a drain-to-own-pockets in disguise.
We also aim to create a tribune to enable discussions and share our views.
For that we have a team working hard into summoning the community to be part of it.
I missed the opportunity of a life time to be able to share and explain all of this in last year's steem-fest but the birth of my daughter took precedence.
