Techwire Editor Says Farewell and Thank You

After five years, 5,170 articles published, 166 videos posted, and countless email newsletters and print magazines distributed, I have decided to make a final dash across the finish line and leave behind my position as editor of Techwire. Thank you to our readers and sponsors. I am grateful for your support over the years, for staying engaged and believing in our mission.

After five years, 5,170 articles published, 166 videos posted and countless email newsletters and print magazines distributed, I have decided to make a final dash across the finish line and leave behind my position as editor of Techwire. Despite my leaving, I am confident the seasoned editorial team and talented designers will continue to keep Techwire a must-read for everyone working in California’s government IT community.    

Launching this publication has been both challenging and rewarding, a venture that included starting my own business in 2011 and eventually merging with a well-established, national publishing company. It’s been quite a journey that leaves me with many lessons learned and no regrets. Indeed, I am fortunate and inspired to try something new.  

Thank you to our readers and sponsors. I am grateful for your support over the years, for staying engaged and believing in our mission. The goal was simple, and it remains the same — to document California's digital transformation and spotlight the work being performed by those working in state government. In creating a new platform for public discourse, I took seriously the need to be responsible, credible and transparent. I believe Techwire remains true to these fundamental goals and more. 

E.Republic will continue to invest in the Techwire brand and is committed to providing customers with a high-quality, job-critical product. As members of the Techwire community, you will be hearing more specifically about that in the very near future.

Farewell and thank you for reading.

Bill Maile was editor of Techwire from 2011 to 2016.
