By now, if you're still with me, you've probably made up your mind. By now, if you're still with me, you've probably made up your mind.
Maybe you're in Group A. Not interested. Maybe you're a formally trained, real-world journalist — you see where this is going, and you've already decided to take no part in it. That's fine. I did not create this screen cast to persuade you. Maybe you're in Group A. You followed along, you found it interesting, but you don't want to contribute. That's fine. For you, I'll simply point to the Gitea repository. There's a directory called *samples*. That's where the Final Reports are. That's where you can see the analyses I've done on the issues I care about. Follow the results, or don't. That's your choice.
Or maybe you're in Group B. You didn't really follow any of this, and you're not sure what it's about. To you I say: CIVICVS isn't trying to recruit. It's not for everyone. We're looking for individuals who are already aligned with the attitude, the motivation, the capacity that CIVICVS requires. If you're not there yet, that's okay. Those who are will recognize themselves. Then there's Group B. The ones who are lit up by this. The ones already asking: *Where do I sign up? Is there a forum? How do I get started?*

For you, here's the truth: there is no gate, no application, no administration. Any forum will do. Read the foundation template. Copy it. Modify it. Do your own work. Publish your own analyses. Create your own screencasts. Debate with individuals and groups. For you, here's the truth: there is no gate, no application, no administration. Any forum will do. Read the foundation template.

Understand this: a Civic Analyst is self-trained, and self-validated. The only standard you're judged by is the quality of your work. That’s it. Nothing else. A Civic Analyst stands alone: self-trained, self-supported, and self-qualified. No institution confers the title. Your work speaks for you — and only the quality of that work will ever matter.
Look for my next screencast, and thank you for tuning in. CIVICVS out. Look for my next screencast, and thank you for tuning in. CIVICVS out.
