CWG meeting 2014-06-06

From OpenStreetMap Foundation

Communication Working Group meeting on Friday 6th June 2014

Attendees

  • Harry Wood
  • Robert Barr
  • Martin Wass
  • Chris Fleming (listening)

On Skype (following is based on rough notes)

Topics

Harry gave a recap of what CWG has been and has done in the past. Can think of two aspects to this:

  • Doing blogging & tweeting on official openstreetmap channels. Probably the easiest and most fun bit. It's also a good priority to try to tackle first. We need revitalise this. Get more blogging and tweeting happening.
  • Taking decisions, laying down policies related to aspects of communication. We get queries and requests coming from other working groups and the board. One or two of these to do at the moment

Note: there's more scene-setting details in harry's kick off email
