Evangelism - time to re-engage and get some work done

[danielabarbosa]

It has been pretty quiet over here on this Evangelism discussion list
as well as in the skype chat. Hopefully that is because over the last
few weeks we have all been waiting for the final decisions on the
Steering Committee Members and the finalization of the Governance
model.

I think that we are now in a good position to pick-up or perhaps drop
if our evangelism goals have changed the listed projects that are part
of our Evangelism Action Group.

Take a look at our Evangelism Action Group goals:
http://wiki.dataportability.org/display/dpmain/Evangelism
and our Projects:
http://wiki.dataportability.org/display/dpmain/Evangelism+Projects+Directory

We should all spend some time reviewing these goals and projects,
update this information as needed and start making some progress on
formalizing these items (many are being done already and perhaps need
more volunteer assistance)

I would like to purpose a couple of things:

1. please make suggestions, comments and share your ideas here on this
thread on how we should rekindle this Action group
2. please visit the Wiki pages listed above, and add comments or make
changes to specific items that need updating, changes etc
3. we schedule a bi-weekly call, to discuss evangelism projects to
ensure that we are all on the same page and focused on moving them
forward

This Evangelism list has over active 130 members, so i hope this post
receives good constructive feedback and perhaps some new volunteers
step up who are eager to work on evangelizing Data Portability.

For those of you who have recently reached out to me individually and
asked how you can get involved, thank you! and i hope to hear your
thoughts and see your contributions here as well.

thanks in advance

Daniela -- I'm on holiday at the moment, and have a road-trip crazy
fall starting the third week of August, but will take a look at wiki
pages, etc. when I am back next week and see what I can commit to.

An initial thought would be that re-evaluating the list on the wiki
may be in order, that's a long way from dropping the effort
completely.
