California couldn’t be in much more budget trouble, and we’ve already helped the City of Santa Cruz use citizen engagement to make difficult budget decisions, so we’re really happy to announce our partnership with Common Sense California for the first-of-its-kind “Online Public Engagement Grant Program,” offering free implementation and training of the UserVoice online platform for public participation efforts around the state.
Through the Online Public Engagement Grant Program, at least five (5) grantees will be awarded free use of the UserVoice platform plus implementation training – an up to $10,000.00 value. Applications will be received on a “rolling basis” with “Phase I” of the grant period concluding on March 8, 2010. New grant phases may be opened as availability permits.
We have been about engagement since the day we first designed this product, and we’re happy to have a partner like Common Sense California to help put the product in the hands of public sector leaders who can really use it to engage their residents in making important local decisions.
To learn how to apply check out the CSC UserVoice application.

Due to the an emergency database switch by our hosting provider, we will be down for 10 minutes at 12:30 pm today. Unfortunately, this is out of our hand, again as we switch to a dedicated database cluster.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Team UserVoice

Hi there! Rich, UserVoice Founder & CEO here, and I’d like to take *you* out for a drink.
No, no it’s not like that *that*. It’s that I’ve finally managed to get out of the office and to be honest… it’s a bit lonely. To remedy that I’ve hatched a plan to combine two of my favorite things: you, our customers (big and small; old, new and future), and free beer (I’ll have a Hefeweizen please).
Here are the stops I’m making on this current tour:

If you can’t make it to the pub, drop me message me on Twitter (@rrwhite) and maybe we can find another time to meet up.
Don’t see your city here? How about you add it to our newly minted Bar Tour Forum and we’ll hope to see you out there,
Rich(ard) White
