Good News about OneDegree
I'm delighted to let you know that OneDegree will begin publishing again. Rosemary and I are passing the torch to one of the most delightful, creative and curmudgeonly marketers I know - Peter Mosley. "The Mose" has written for us in the past, including one of our most popular articles of all time, The Mose's Top 10 Networking Tips.
I first met Peter back in 2006 when I attended his workshop on expanding creative potential at the national CMA conference. One of my favourite lines from his talk "Crap with reverbs is still crap" still resonates particularly that we as marketers seem to have so many shiny new toys in our toy box.
Peter's deep background in branding and marketing, his affiliation with DMAT as its new President, his track record of building online communities and his strong professional network will all serve to bring a renewed vigor to OneDegree. And to our contributors: I hope that if you have written for OneDegree in the past, you will consider doing so again. And that if you haven't, you may find a home here under Peter's guidance.
I will still be contributing occasionally and will, in the short term, be helping with the transition over the next few weeks.
Thank you for your support in the past - Peter and I look forward to it in the future!
Long live, OneDegree!
That's great news... Congrats Peter. We look forward to great things :)

Thanks Kate. And TY Bart! I am really looking forward to doing my bit for Vers 3. Ken Schafer started an amazing site and community. Kate nurtured it, added her flare and now I will do my part to see it continue, grow and be what it has always been to so many of us.
As for changes? As for where we go?
Frankly, it is up to all of us to make sure OneDegree serves the community, has the bestest and the brightest of Canadian folks contributing, reading and chiming in.
My promise ... I will work as hard as possible.

Fantastic news!
Congratulations Peter, and way to go Kate & Rose.
I'm eager to see where things go from here and based on The Mose's comments and posts I'm sure it'll get conversations rolling.

Yay!
Can we also look forward to the return of Father Mose and the Church of the Little Weird Cowboy? Let's not ignore our spiritual needs.
Best of luck Pete.
