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 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 portal site.
