After our last community discussion of citizen journalism, back in June, everyone seemed to want to do it again. So let's do it again. I've reserved an auditorium here for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 28.

Admission is free, although if you would, please leave a note in the comments or e-mail me to let me know you're coming so we'll have enough chairs (and maybe some snacks 'n' drinks).

What should we talk about? That's your call. I'll throw out two suggestions:

• Although I'm listed as a discussion leader for this fall's ConvergeSouth and am happy to be the person who calls the session to order, there's no particular reason why I should lead the discussion. I think a group of Greensboro folks talking about their hopes and frustrations in this arena would be more useful, to themselves and to Converge attendees who ain't from 'round here, than anything I could say.
• Leonard Witt has some thoughts here on what can, should and does go into successful citizen-journalism efforts. What do you think? Is he on target? If so, what would a Greensboro cit-j model that followed his prescription look like?
  

But that's food for thought, not dictation of an agenda.

So: Two weeks from tonight, 6:30 p.m. Be there.
