What’s new
I updated my New page on my Publicus.Net site.
Here is the text:
Holy smokes. I’ve been busy.
In June, I spoke on e-democracy trends in Madrid, the Basque Country, and in London (on Issues Forum).
In July, I organized the International Symposium on Local E-Democracy for the UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. This required 150% of my time from May through the beginning of August.
In August before a needed vacation, I prepared phase two plans for Democaster and Issues Forums for the UK Local e-Democracy National Project.
I also wrote a short article titled, Networking Neighbors Online which was passed all over the place and landed me in an interview on The Current, the new mustic sations of Minnesota Public Radio,
In September, I spoke in Amsterdam and at the eVoice conference in Groningen, The Netherlands. Tomorrow, I speak via the web to a conference in Nova Scotia.
Now I am focused on catching up on with E-Democracy.Org volunteer work with our new wiki, Minneapolis election links, GroupServer feature ideas, grant proposal drafting (help us), and inviting new members to our Board officially.
I am also updating the technology on DoWire and preparing to move DoWire discussion groups to GroupServer from YahooGroups.
I am open to speaking requests starting in January and exploring longer-term project options for 2006 and 2007.
