Bio <a href="http://publiclab.org/organizers">Organizer</a>, director of <a href="http://publiclab.org/wiki/community-development">community development</a>, and co-founder. My role bridges place-based community organizing and internet-mediated peer production. Check out the highlights of our <a href="https://publiclab.org/wiki/community-development">community's development</a> and ongoing <a href="https://publiclab.org/evaluation">evaluation</a>. For my emphasis on culture instead of rules, <a href="http://publiclab.org/profile/wward1400">Will Ward</a> has called me The Enforcer of Norms. Because the acronym for "have you considered sharing back?" (HYCSB) is not so catchy, other members of Public Lab have created <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5u2lhrfdw0daemh/AAC5v1ekZGWiWgDL6z50zWnKa?dl=0">these graphics</a> to save me from repeating myself. Fair enough.
