The Blue Line -- an online community forum for Boulder

The Idea

The Blue Line is a non-profit, all volunteer, online source of information about current events for and by the Boulder community. First launched in March, 2010, the Blue Line has attracted over 500 articles from nearly 100 Boulder residents -- all volunteers!

The Specifics

The Blue Line offers Boulder something new: a community forum where groups and individuals can offer news, analysis and opinion on a wide range of issues of interest to Boulder residents. We have hosted debates by community members on controversial issues like SmartRegs, mountain bikes on city open space, and municipalization.
We use free, open-source software and systems as much as possible but there are still expenses. We rely on donations and monthly sponsors to stay afloat.
Additional funds would be used to pay student journalists for reporting on issues of interest to Boulder, like the upcoming election, local food movement, solutions to Uni Hill, transit, cycling, neighborhoods, renewable energy, urban wildife, and the arts.
