I see a number of non-devs signed up. Here is some brainstorming on ideas:

Some thoughts:
* icon work - does it make sense to come up with icons for categories of food?
* data work - what are the top X that people want to source locally? try and find that for some list of source cities (e.g. eggs, milk, bread)
* data work - what are the top X things you'd want to know about a restaurant's sourcing? e.g. where is your meat from? where are your eggs from? come up with a new like Oceanwise, but a more general score for restaurants

Derek, maybe this is something you can take on to organize.

This is something I'll take on and will spend a bit of time today
mapping out.

I agree with the buckets below. I'll likely organize as follows;

Design - the look and feel of the Open Food Initiative (logo etc)
* Icons / visual language of open food data

Data Work
* Identify the top foodtypes that people want to source within their
communities
* Identify the top sourcing related insights people would like to
have from restaurants (grocers as well?)
* Work on a general 'openness' score/assessment for food businesses

Community
* Identify people/orgs in other cities to network with on this
effort
