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)

community.osm.org - how can we promote?

  • Use the upcoming migration of help and support as a hook to promote the forums. Exact date tbd.
