Old Business

Noted that three working groups came out of the previous meeting: geodata discovery, packaging, licensing. Participants are encouraged to sign up for the working groups. Agreed that working group meeting times should be set via the geodata@geodata.osgeo.org mailing list.

Project Portal

Project portal lives at http://geodata.osgeo.org/, currently just a first draft. The committee votes to add a screenshot or two.

Some discussion of whether to keep the portal page or move everything to the wiki. Agreed that we need a single clean URL to hand people. Also agreed that standards for public presentation of committees are somewhat unclear.

Resolved that we should pile content into the [Public Geospatial Data Project|project wiki page], which will then be ported into the portal's SVN next week. Jo volunteers to share SVN access with any committee member who wants to help maintain the site.
