Hi, I'm Pete Forsyth.
I live in the great city of Portland, Oregon. I have a consulting business, Puddletown Consulting. I help businesses, organizations, and people work with wikis -- publishing on Wikipedia, installing and using wikis within their own organizations, etc. I provide consultation on communications and fundraising matters. I also do maintenance and other consulting for Macintosh, Windows, and Linux systems.
Oregon Government 2.0 bill
Here's a piece of draft legislation I'm working on for the 2009 Oregon legislature: Oregon Governmetn 2.0 bill
What I'm up to these days
- I'm working on a fundraiser roboforex demo account event for my favorite Portland charity, The Giving Tree -- it's The Iron Bartender, where on December 13, 2008, three Portland mixologists will throw down their toughest pours before a panel of fabulous judges, competing for the title of Portland's Iron Bartender. Come on down, it's going to be a blast!
- I'm actively developing my own blog, Our New Mind, which covers collaboration (both online and offline), public process, and technology.
- Also working on the blog for WikiProject Oregon, a group of Wikipedia contributors who share an interest in Oregon. This is a newer effort; we're trying to show how fun and effective it an be working on a project like this is, and help new contributors find a suitable area to get involved.
- Creating The Open Lobby, a concept for transparent, collaborative policy development. (Less formal brainstorming here: Wiki and government.)
- Working with my clients at Puddletown Consulting, my tech-politics-communications company. Ongoing clients include the Open Primary campaign and The Giving Tree, a non-profit serving those in transitional housing.
- Getting the government to stop claiming copyright on stuff it produces. Oregon Open Content initiative
I do lots of writing and editing on Wikipedia, and have mt4 roboforex volunteered for a number of Portland organizations: The Giving Tree, Free Geek, Bus Project, Southeast Uplift, Powell Little roboforex mobile trader League.
I've archived a bunch writing (published and otherwise) here.
