Summary:

General introductions, acknowledgement that this is a committee reboot
Very hard to focus on agenda
- number of things needing fixing (even for just the website) is a distraction
Board has asked for 2017 Budget and committee guidelines
- We will need to negotiate a clear mandate with the board to answer that question
Board has asked if the marketing committee we would like to be in charge of a website reboot?
- Yes
website discussion
- user-focused website
- RFP for external party, rather than rely on volunteer labour
- Expectation for $50k based on similar projects
Short Term Planning
- short term planning to get the committee up and running
- branding: http://cartogenic.com/OSGeo-brand/guide/
- bi-weekly meetings while we get set up
