Gonna quote anonymously some of the reasons people have shared so far for why they're interested in participating in virtual barn-raisings (it's one of the Qs in the signup form: ajroberts0417.typeform.com/to/xyEW680E) > I like to BUIDL > It seems cool and I'd like to pop in and watch.
> Help out in whatever way I can > Helping out people, building things, making friends, what not to like? > I just like you people. > interested in trying/making something new
> I enjoy software development and making friends by doing things together. I am also very curious about high-quality online interactions and collective intelligence systems and this seems to be a good way of practising this interest. > Gotta support the homies
> I love the idea of modern barn raising, & I’d love to meet others who value community the same way. I’d be happy to contribute where I can :) > Really appreciate the idea of barn raising & would be stoked to participate in the first experiment > Barn-raising is a cool concept
> It's fun to make things with people! Would like to see how this flavor of collaboration works > Loving the idea of supporting each other in building, being creative, defying set rules of community and competition.
> I like the community aspect of coming together to support someone's project! I think it'll be fun, I'll learn, and make friends, especially in a somewhat "work" context
> I’m very curious about the barn raising format (and serendipitous collaboration in general). I feel like I have been wasting so much of the value I have to add to the world and I believe this is the type of initiative that can help me start realizing some of it.
> Love for Malcolm and Priya. Fun of collaborating with incredible people > I like the idea and like working with people > Malcolm said I could be useful and I'm out here casting about for ways to be useful, and I trust him
