What a neat coincidence! For those Maintainers who joined us in November for Open Journal Systems superstar Kaitlin Newson’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4FtwtmMdig" class="">Information Maintainers talk on documentation</a>, let it be known that
the relaunch of JoCI couldn’t have been done without the collective labour and documentation referenced in that talk, and it likely would not have been possible without a commitment to open-access publication and open-source systems by all of their managing
editors. Without showing the cards of the JoCI team too much, it’s a classic Maintainers story with a happy ending, a lovely collaboration to rescue a thankfully-not-too-old database with a not-too-outdated OJS schema and bringing it to a new home, an SSL
certificate, and a new upgrade path :)

I am working from home, so please email me to set up an appointment to speak on the phone. I live on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples, and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit. The University of Waterloo
is located on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometres on either side of the Grand River.</div>

Informatics and related topics, particularly with how ICT can be useful to the range of traditionally excluded populations and communities, and how it can support local economic development, social justice and political empowerment using the Internet. CI is
a point of convergence concerning the use of ICTs for diverse stakeholders, including community activists, nonprofit groups, policymakers, users/citizens, and the range of academics working across (and integrating) disciplines as diverse as Information Studies,
Management, Computer Science, Social Work, Planning, and Development Studies. Emerging issues within the CI field include: community access to the internet, community information, online civic participation and community service delivery, community and local
economic development, training networks, telework, social cohesion, learning, e-health, and e-governance.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
