Agenda / Notes

LCCWG support

Maggie in attendance from LCCWG

Discussion:

  • Recruiting moderators for the OSMF lists - message drafted for the mailing lists but could be mirrored on the OSMF blog and then promo’d on social media
  • Sub-committee will dissolve once recruitment for mods is done
  • LCCWG has its own OSM diary as a group space for publishing - could be promoted via OSMF social media or replicated on blog (if appropriate). Could be good place to take ideas from for future blog posts.
  • Local chapters congress coming up that could also benefit from CWG support
  • LCCWG meeting notes could include section on upcoming initiatives that could be supported by the CWG
  • Idea: Someone from CWG to ‘cover’ local chapters congress.

Actions:

  • Maggie to share messaging on moderator recruitment and to organise shared space for LCCWG to document comms needs and support requests
