## Wrapping up with Meetups and Philanthropy
---
@sndbox-alpha is entering the final days of curating Meetups and Philanthropy! For the past month, the Alpha Curation Team has been supporting a broad spectrum of Steemit.com posts on the subject of community activities and donation-based campaigns. There’s still time to submit your own work and initiatives to the curation program by following the guidelines, [here](https://steemit.com/sndbox/@sndbox-alpha/submit-posts-about-meet-up-and-philanthropy-week-4-final-week). 

A big thanks to the Curation Team of @steemitph, @nairadaddy, @kenan1989 and @zord189 for supporting such a robust program for the last month!

## About Our Rotating Curation Program
---
@sndbox-alpha is a curation account with rotating themes and liaisons. Each month, a new theme will be announced alongside a new team who will be tasked with upvoting content. “Alpha” is a community account created for the first cohort of the @sndbox incubator; a diverse group of 100 Steemians representing nearly 20 countries and languages.

After some deliberation; 10 core themes were chosen by popular vote among incubator members. These 10 themes (outlined below) will be covered by different curators. The following are the themes that were selected through a recommendation process:

---

* Theme 1 : **Art + Music** [(Read the summary, here.)](https://steemit.com/art/@sndbox/exploring-art-and-music-with-sndbox-alpha)
<sup>Curation Team: @djlethalskillz, @heymattosokol, @playitforward, and @paolobeneforti.</sup>

* Theme 2 : **Meetups + Philanthropy** [(Presently ongoing, click here.)](https://steemit.com/sndbox/@sndbox-alpha/submit-posts-about-meet-up-and-philanthropy-week-4-final-week)
<sup>Curation Team: @steemitph, @nairadaddy, @kenan1989 and @zord189.</sup>

* Theme 3 : **Philosophy + Writing + Literature**
<sup>Curation Team: @anomadsoul, @guyfawkes4-20, @fingersik and @martibis.</sup>

* Theme 4 : **Education + Science**
<sup>Curation Team: @bitrocker2020, @jrswab, @jeffbernst and @teachblogger.</sup>

* Theme 5 : **Steemit Comments**
<sup>Curation Team: @zord189, @aaronleang and @jaff8.</sup>

As always, we strive to be 100% transparent for the sake of open critique and public use. The following are our preliminary guidelines for @sndbox-alpha’s use -

* 30,000 SP was delegated from @sndbox to the @sndbox-alpha account.
* No voting on @sndbox posts other than major announcements.
* Majority of curation dedicated to external (non-Sndbox affiliated) accounts.
* Curation practices to be reevaluated on a monthly basis.
* Curation Teams are compensated through 50% of SBD payouts (remaining 50% to be powered up).
* @sndbox retains full ownership of the account’s Steem Power.
