OMF - New MDS Working Group

[Michael Schnuerle]

OMF Community,

After months of evaluation, public feedback, and planning, the OMF Board voted to merge the two prior MDS working groups (City Services and Provider Services) into one unified MDS working group.  

You can read about the details here, including links to the new charter, mailing list, meetings, and steering committee members:

The meeting and calendar information is staying the same since we have been operating with joint invites for a while now.

There also is a new MDS specific mailing list. The other two mailing lists are now retired. If you were on them, you have been added to this new joint mailing list:

And if you are an OMF member, there is a new #wg-mds Slack channel you can join for more informal conversations and coordination. 

Thank you for your patience as we transition everything over, and we hope this will simplify your participation, allow more focus for our public and private steering committee members, and let us better plan meetings and features for you in the MDS community.

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle

Director of Open Source Operations
