Info about how to get really involved with the BitShares Community

For anything that requires voting (witness, worker proposal), reptuation is key. Hence, I strongly recommend becoming active in the community, get your self familiar with it and establish a standing in the community.
The better you do, the faster you can become an essential part of the community.
@clockwork is a good example, he started to be active about 12 months ago and made it to top1 committee and top1 witness.

Thanks a lot for answering. I will do that.

Hello to all readers.

I will introduce myself a bit.
I have been off from the bitshares forum but I am up for it and I come reloaded with more clear ideas after a long journey using crypto, mining and publishing tons of posts.
My name is Saturno Mangieri. Right now I live in Venezuela but soon enough I will moving to Brasil. I am a regular and active Steemit & Whaleshares user known as theghost1980 in both platforms. I have been working educating people since I start making more "serious blogging". So far I have been able to analyse that basically all these three platforms are connected this is why I talk about Steemit & whaleshares. Right now I am supporting a curation community called steemitvenezuela. We mainly curate articles written in Spanish and we help people to become better bloggers as well.

Right now I am running a witness for whaleshares platform and I would love to start running one for bitshares as well. This is why I ask you about how can I get really involved with BitShares in order to make it worth and start a true long term relationship. I have some ideas but I will love to hear your opinions about this. I have an education project in mind because I love educating people and teaching them about the truth potential of Blockchain. It will be a pleasure for me to do this as a professional job, starting in Brasil.

I will leave 2 questions so you can let me know about it.

Is it possible to ask for a budget to educate people about BitShares and about the whole Blogging ecosystem? What is the regular procedure?

Would it be better to run a witness first so the team can see my honest intentions here first?

I will really appreciate the guidance and help. I know the potential of all of this and I am here to work hard and to prove with real results. You can investigate a bit about me using the links bellow.

Please feel free to ask me anything you may consider important. I am open to teach people about the whole BitShares ecosystem. One of my passions in life is teaching. I have a professional degree in Computer Science as well.

As I said I will really appreciate the help and guide.

PS: I have posted it in "General Discussion" but if you consider that  must be moved to another topic is fine.
