Sometimes it helps to launch a new forum with a round of introductions, for those who are comfortable. Its an easy way to try out the forum and gives others in the forum a sense of who is "out there." So far, we've heard from Abi and Ian. My name is Tim Erickson. I don't live in Cowley or even in Oxford, however I have been there to visit and hope to return sometime very soon. I work for E-Democracy.Org in St. Paul, Minnesota (USA) and have been working with Shey Cobley to set up this forum. I've been working with forums like this for almost 10 years now. I am very interested in the power of internet to connect people and facilitate conversations over long distances, but also within local communities. There are great examples around the UK and in the USA of local communities using forums like this one to share information, discuss important issues, and increase participation in the community. So, who else has subscribed to this forum? And what do you hope to see discussed in this forum?
