Call for Co-Authors + Collaborators

It's common sense that conversations take more than one person. With that in light, Milieu is making a call for submissions to be featured here on Milieudiscourse.com, and potentially in future printed Milieu's.

These submissions can be articles, essays, visuals or whatever best works for you to communicate what you wish to talk about.

Interested? Email Milieu.

Things are not that easy. Let me give you an advice .. study how to create a community and how to make users contribute to that community.

Michael,

Thank you for the words of advice, as an admirer of your blog, I'll take your words to heart. But you have to admit something like "building community" is far from a formula of x+y = z. It's messy and very unpredictable, especially if you do not have large sums of capital (social or monetary) at your disposal. It seems like the best we can do in this situation is to just keep trying different approaches until something unusual happens (of course please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this Michael).

Also I dunno if the purpose of Milieu is to "build community" per se. It's more to have a conversation with people I wouldn't be able to otherwise, to become a better designer as a result.
