Hi, I’m Cali!
I’m thrilled to be joining The Community Manager as Content Editor, which means I’ll be lassoing blog posts from, well, you. More on that in just a minute.
You might know me as @caligater. Or perhaps we’ve connected if you participated in #reverb10 or #reverb11—an end-of-year blogging project I worked on with Gwen Bell in 2010 and 2011.
I’m now working with the KULA Causes community—and totally smitten with it. Oh! And James Moreau and I run the Boulder Community Manager Meetup group, a monthly meetup of community-type folks.
I live in Boulder, Colorado. I love to salsa dance. And I’m ever-so-slowly losing my given name (“Cali”) and usually respond to “Gater”. Kidding! (Sort of.)
But enough about me. Let’s talk about you.
We’d love to have you write for The Community Manager.
- We’re looking for reviews, how-tos, case studies, meetup wrap-ups, tools, resources, and events—all about community management
- Post should be 400-700 words, and include a related image
- You can check out the other great contributors here
- If you submit a post, we’ll set you up with a wordpress account so you can submit as you’d like
- We’re cool on links here at TCM, so feel free to include 1-2 of them in your bios, and/or 1-2 of them in your submission
Interested in contributing?
Contact us, and include who you are, and what you’d like to write about. Either a specific topic or an area you’re interested in will be fine.
Cali Harris (better known as Caligater) lives and salsa dances in Boulder, Colorado. She's Managing Editor for The Community Manager and works at TechStars. She still clings to the Oxford comma.
Way to go Cali!
I’ll definitely be looking to contribute something in the near future.
Boom!
@DavidPennington I’ll be holding you to that, Mr. Pennington. (And… THANK YOU!)
Welcome to the team, Cali! Woot!
@Brett Thank youuuuu! I’m doing the happy dance. From Boulder. With a couple fist-pumps thrown in for flair.
Such a great move, guys. Guess I don’t need to tell you how incredible Cali is 🙂
I still cling to the Oxford comma, too, and always will 🙂
@theTsaritsa YES.
I’m late to the party on this, but a huge congrats to you, lady! Though, we might have be frenemies because I’m all about the AP style, and we don’t mess around with that Oxford comma. 😉
 @ericajmoss Haha! THANK YOU!Â

You know, my education was in journalism. So in so many ways I’m beholden to AP style. I live two editor lives. 😉
 @caligater It’s not easy to wear two hats (I feel your pain) — but it can be done!
