I don’t like these words but need people good at change mgmt, knowledge mgmt, talent mgmt. We need community organizers, community moderators. And marketing/PR (even if just internally).
It needs more Gary V types – how we do get people jazzed about this stuff? Both internally and externally.

Even the outreach is primarily via digital media. We still aren’t reaching the general population. Where is Big Media (tv, radio) in all of this?
My family and friends are hearing about OpenGov from me, not from the news media. Why?
I wanna be the Gary V of our community. Only I will curse less.
Andrea, start pumping out the videos and vooks!
