Howdy DoWire friends, After spending last year focused on my radio app start-up and having a wonderful "summer with Dad" with my now, 9 and 11 year-old kids, I am now kicking my strategic digital consulting work into high gear going forward.
Gear shift. To do this, I need your help. Right now, if you were to recommend me to others, what would you say? What is the first thing that comes to mind? What value do you think I would best provide to others with *their* civic/government/entrepreneurial needs? Reply to: cl...@publicus.net I have my thoughts about what I am best at that for which people will actually pay. I also know that despite being awesome at digitally convening thousands of people interested in improving digital democracy from all over the world, no one wants to pay for that! Talk is cheap even if it is extremely cost effective for knowledge exchange. So the frame now is helping other organizations achieve their digitally infused goals and not my own projects. While I will hit the global speaking trail again a couple times a year, I really look forward to reconnecting with what many of your organizations are up to and how I might help you with your goals. For those asking, what about E-Democracy.org? E-Democracy is a survivor. It continues to serve thousands of people everyday with our global convening around civic tech and open government via our Facebook Group and our last remaining non-profit, independent open source hosted local online community forums. Our donors - http://e-democracy.org/donate - bring in the $10K needed to keep it going and allow with dozens of volunteers we subsidize the organization with our time. (Which is what we did for nearly a decade before a period of grants.) I look forward to your input as I put together a new two pager on the strategic consulting services that I provide. Thanks!

Very exciting, but not likely to become more than a side gig. iOS is back under development.
