September 2007 Archives

First of all, welcome to DCP 2.0. This is the culmination of the brainstorming sessions started off by our inimitable blog editor Rick Albertson last spring and to which many of you contributed your thoughts and ideas. As Rick said in one of the DCP 2.0 brainstorming posts:

DCP “is a community, not a preconfigured entity. What we do here is participatory, not pontificatory. This is not a top-down enterprise. It has always been a concept, a community, a place in cyberspace where things happen from the ground up.”

This is the result of all your good ideas and I’m sure there’s room for a few more.

One of the key points centered around how we approach our discussions. Some of us like a focused discussion and some of us like posting about whatever we’ve read or confronted on a daily basis and sharing it with our friends at DCP. The Open Thread is meant to be that place. It’s a second blog thread that’s always open for whatever comments you want to throw at it. (Provided, of course, that they follow the usual community guidelines.)

Post the latest news item that you think we all ought to read. Come tell us about your latest bit of activism or something you read in the Open Thread.
