		<content:encoded><![CDATA[	I haven&#39;t posted anything to this Designing for Civil Society blog for a couple of years, because I&#39;ve been concentrating on <a href="http://socialreporter.com">socialreporter.com</a> and <a href="http://socialbysocial.net">socialbysocial.net</a>. However, I feel I should record that we now have a Minister for Civil Society in Nick Hurd, and a major announcement today about the Big Society initiative he will be leading in the new Conservative-Liberal Democrat government. <a href="http://socialreporter.com/?p=891">More about that here</a>.<p>I&#39;ve been <a href="http://socialreporter.com/?p=867">writing a lot recently</a> about the use of games and other workshop techniques to develop the sort of local collaborations needed if the Big Society ideas are to prosper. Definitely Designing for Civil Society ... which makes me wonder whether I should start blogging here again, or at least take the term across into a group on socialbysocial.net. Thoughts welcome, if anyone is still reading.</p> ]]></content:encoded>
