Fwd: Relay/OSDI Intro

[Sonya Reynolds]

do we have a "quick pitch"? Is anyone willing to write one we could re-use when people ask for it?

Hi hi! I honestly might not be the best one to talk to about OSDI -- but if someone can send me a quick pitch, I'd be happy to pass it to our product/tech team.

Hey Jon!

Nice to meet you (again, actually, we met when you came and spoke at Progressive HackNight a WHILE ago.)

I'd love to talk about Relay joining OSDI. What's your schedule like? Free to hop on a call with Brady and I to talk about next steps?

Hi Jon

Good talking to you at Roostcamp.  I want to connect you with Brady Kriss, OSDI’s VP of Membership, and Sonya Reynolds, our esteemed Chair.  

Brady, Sonya, Meet Jon Warnow from Relay, a peer to peer texting tool. (does anyone not know that by now? 😊)

OSDI is a great way to create Better interop with other systems and a great way to do that is to join OSDI!

Jon, Brady and Sonya can take it from here.

This is great for people who are interested in OpenSupporter but it isn't "pitchy" enough I think for this kind of situation. Do we have something that's plain-language "this is what OpenSupporter is and why it's important for the movement and so you (X company) should be involved because Y."

[jos...@gmail.com]

True. That material is geared more toward onboarding, navigating our structure and process etc. 

Pitchy stuff would be the website, and the whitepaper.  Still that’s all pretty verbose.

 

Here’s a riff on the content from the website:

 

The Open Supporter Data Interface (OSDI) effort defines an API and data structures for interoperability among products in the progressive cause-based, campaign and non-profit marketplace. The API defines resources representing people, donations, questions, tags, events, and many other relevant data types.

 

The existence of a common API will reduce customer costs related to moving data between different systems, lower integration costs and enhance the ability of innovators to create products for the marketplace. 

 

OSDI is a democracy and level playing field  whos  membership is made up of progressive vendors and organizations as well as invited non-partisan and mainstream industry vendors.
