What are the needs from the board?
Courtney – Board needs an MVP: (channel list, content plan, mechanism for implementing, documentation of the plan/process)
Courtney - there are mechanisms that can be revived from the past - summaries from WGs, eg.simple deadlines for the blog that help us support
Priorities for action:
- Channels list
- re: channels: Marjan and Courtney have some analysis and could do a simple proposal for most effective channels? (possibly a dashboard, longer term) Marjan can own. Craig can contribute re: Africa channels
- Forum governance team can suppy stats / analytics
- Content calendar
- Content development support (review / editing / publishing)
- quarterly Chair update
- quarterly (?) operations update
- other quarterly report? ()
- (if there are 3 quarterly reports, that means 1 post/month is taken care of
Discuss the proposals for /copyright and Gustavo Soares proposals - what are next steps?
- Draft has been shared with legal wg (nothing back, yet)
- Gustavo very motivated to make design changes - Can we help him with breaking this into achievable pieces?
- Start with content update for the copyright page…
- Get Gustavo familiar with how to contribute / pair him with someone who can make a pull request
- [Ariel] Most useful bit is how to attribute for different forms of using OSM
- This is the second most visited page on the website (people clicking through from map attributions)
Actions:
- Finalise the text
- Feedback to Gustavo on design (Courtney to intro Mikel)
- Find someone to help him with the implementation (this could be Harry)
