@steemshirts - steem community empowerment / proposal
On this last Thursday @ccommons.art, @inyoursteem and @steemshirts where at the #TRA2018 advocating for #CryptoArt education within the most prestigious transportation technologies and mobility related event in Europe.
A unique occasion to bring the steemians, expecially the #steemit-austria and #deutsch communities, our Erasmus+ students and merge non formal education mobility, future of travel and creativity within a common understanding throught #CryptoArt.
This picture has been made by @jnmarteau at the 9th #steemit-austria Viennese #Meetup and featuring @manncpt and @mammasitta participating and supporting the first #cryptoart #workshop organized by @globalschool.
Some weeks ago already I have been experimenting some cryptoart workshops outside of @frameworks where we are hosting usually the @globalschool activities. At the last steemit-austria meetup, I decide to bring some t-shirts and textile painting, and see if the steemians would participate to the co creation of some memorable t-shirts together. After the success of the activity, I thought, collectives such as @slothicorn and @ccommons.art, but in general the @creative-commons community and more largely all communities and groups represented on steemit and on the steem blockchain would eventually enjoy to have their own steem related t-shirts to collect funds to self sustain their community projects. That is how after talking with the globalschool participants and see Juli (@inyoursteem) motivated, we came up with the idea to launch a pop up handmade t-shirts designer studio and we launched @steemshirts.
Every project, community and collective need to have a certain autonomy, I mean, be some kind of self sufficient to not expect too much to be taken over by one or another member of the community, and lets be honest this is mostly a question of resource and system to be put in place to enable this autonomy.
Let me explain
For some times now @alexandravart is away and her heartproject @ccommons.art is mostly depending on the time an initiative of the collective to achieve its goal and mission: support and reward artists contributing to CC on the blockchain. To make this @alexandravart imagined "The Wall of Fame". An editorial serie, conceived as a medium for participatory curation, focusing on creativity empowerment.
At the beginning as huge supporters were behind her and as she was available to commit as necessary to make live the project, the idea was prosperous, and it was possible to share equally the rewards of the featured artists of the day. However, after a lil while, publishing every 2 days was a certain effort, which unfortunately without a continuous help of more comfortable supporters was not always bringing enaugh rewards to share a really gentle reward as hoped. So we looked for solutions to implement.
Developing the concept of @frameworks within the preparation phases of the "com-lab", I was thinking for the #cryptoart autonomous space project to implement a serie of self sustained rewards systems to ensure the space with a mechanisms which allow it to self sustain and at terms to reproduce itself while reaching the proper conditions. Meeting @alexandravart and starting the cooperation between @ccommons.art and @globalschool really inspired me to explore the fields of these self sustained systems and their dynamics, interactions and requirements, so I could with some support design the proper solutions, observing which triggers are the ones to monitor and for which type of interactions and outcomes.
Developing IOT and more generally IT solutions for the prosperity of the community brings a passionating life. However, what is even more passionating is to transftert a know how from a field to another. Thats is how I came up with @steemshirts as a possible solution to generate new rewards that can be shared with the community of active contributors.

On his trip from Austria to China our explorer and new CC ambassador @preinisch (@silkroad40) will be caring within his bag 2 @ccommons.art t-shirts he will be offering to his new friends on the way.
@preinisch (@silkroad40) also received a white t-shirt from @steemshirts that he will co create with his new friends along his trip. The t-shirt will be put in auctions at the end of his trip to support the @ccommons.art & @globalschool initiative!
