Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been vacationing, reconnecting with friends and family and otherwise trying to keep a low-digital-profile.

To make up for not letting you know that I was away, here’s a great link to the community management wiki. I hope this will tide you over until I’m back next week!

I think that the best part of my job is meeting people – both in off and online. This is really one of those jobs where you really do need to be ‘a people person’. I know this is one of the catchphrases that is said in job interviews, first dates and in eulogies, but really – as a Community Manager… it is the truth.

Folks. It’s important to give back to your communities. If you aren’t taking time to volunteer for causes you believe in, attending or organizing events or giving back in some way – then I’d suggest you start. Not only are you helping others realize their goals, but you are developing valuable skills and making connections.

It really is a win-win situation.

Having passion for wanting to do good is what it’s all about. I’m helping out where I can to help encourage others to get involved and make both the local and international tech scene better.

What are you doing to enhance your community?
