An Open Offer to Utah State IT Employees The State of Utah's CIO is using his weblog to issue a challenge to state IT employees to launch their own weblogs. I believe that the 900 or so IT employees of the State of Utah would benefit from speaking and listening to each other more. I think we need groups of specialists inside various departments to communicate with others in their specialty and without.  Consequently, I'd like to see more people writing blogs and communicating their ideas through an open forum like the one blogs engender.  To that end, I'm willing to pay the licensing fee to Userland for the first 100 employees who start a blog.

State of Utah's weblog cluster Doc Searls noted these "intra-gov" blogs this week and after I poked around a bit, it appears to be a weblog cluster - state government agency weblogs that got going in Utah in late May. Phillip Windley is the state's Chief Information Officer (CIO) and runs Windley's Weblog on Enterprise Computing. David Fletcher is Deputy Director of Utah's Department of Administrative Services and runs the Government and Technology Weblog. Bob Woolley has a Technology Weblog. No info on his blog yet as to who he is and which department he works for, but his blog is linked to from Windley's and Fletcher's. They're all using hosted versions of Radio Userland. Where have I seen those templates before? Griff Wigley 5:04:51 PM     comment []
