I agree that we should take time to do some core planning. Great idea,
Ron. I'll be on vacation next week and the first week in June.
Otherwise, my schedule is fairly open over the next two months. I'm in
Colorado, so the Mountain time zone.

The editorial list probably would come a little later but not too far

I believe apart from the introduction we should also take the time to
discuss some core planning. Just enough to establish a basic 1 year roadmap
so to say on how we will get this rolling. It gives us an opportunity to
return to the community what activities and engagements we see occurring
quickly and those coming up soon. Later on we should plan out some long
term goals. Hopefully it will bring some consistency out of the confusion
that some people might see going on.
Examples of these things we need to quickly plot out and set controls around
are:
1. Website Refacing / Rebranding
2. Content Management / Editorials
3. TLD usage, site strategy, and transparency (.Com for distribution and
final release materials, .Org for community controlled / experimental
material)
4. Idea submissions
I am not one to force process on anybody but I think some minor/moderate
form of planning and control is needed. The rest left to the people. It
gives us something to work for and work to.

Michelle, this is great news. I'd like to have a conference call to get
acquainted with folks. At what point do we set up the website-editorial
list?
Cheers,

Hi all,
Thank you all for your patience and persistence during this long process
of growth into a community, I'm happy to announce that OGB voted
unanimously in favor of our Website Community Group proposal at
yesterday's meeting. As the CG facilitator, I'm in charge of running
meetings, so if you want to have a conference call to get acquainted,
just let me know and I'll schedule and host.
I'm thrilled to see this formally happen and I'm already really enjoying
working with all of you on the website project. Your comments and
assistance with the splash pages are truly keeping me and Derek from
going nuts, really you have no idea how much your feedback and
encouragement is making this a positive and productive assignment for
us, keep 'em coming! I know I'm behind on responding, but I'm taking
them all in.
Meanwhile, let's get going on some new Website community landing pages
in coming weeks, please draft content on the existing website project in
preparation and use the list to announce and review ideas. Feel free to
get creative.
Alysson, Elijah, and Ron, I've added you as Leaders to the Website
project, so you can have a go at it. Will take a few weeks to update the
polling system with your contributor grants, feel free to remind me if
this doesn't happen in a timely manner.
Do let me know if you have any questions or need help to get going or if
there are others who need edit privileges.
Regards,
Michelle
