CKAN Association Steering Group - about to set sail!

The CKAN Association Steering Group will be meeting in about 30 hours from now. I wanted to make sure we took the opportunity to ask for community questions regarding the CKAN project. So, please comment here with any questions you might like discussed and/or answered by the steering group :) This will be my first chance to catch up with everyone in the group so I will have lots of questions of my own. I'm also keen to provide updates on how I see things are going with regard to developing and extending the CKAN community and its reach with regard to communications activities. We have a modest starting point, so updates will be easy to provide. It would be great to get comments via this post on what more people would like to see. However, there are many action items incomplete from within the Community and Communications Team so I'll also be reporting on that. We don't yet have a list of CKAN vendors and this is clearly needed based on the number of CKAN Dev list requests regarding upgrade questions when planning a move to 2.3. Some great positive indicators I see for the project are the number of people active on the CKAN Dev email list and the high volume of quality conversations that are taking place there. It appears the the 2.3 release has been the catalyst needed for a fantastic reinvestment (at least publicly) from both the regular technical team members and the wider community of awesome people doing amazing stuff within their own open data projects. I would like those on the steering group to recognise this change and actively work to support ###MOAR###! As a new member of the steering group I should introduce myself. You can see the bio attached to this post but for a fresh video-cast of something I'm involved in within my local area you can also take a look at the Australian Open Knowledge Chapter Board meeting that was held earlier today. The video is embedded below. I do actually mention the work I've been doing within the CKAN association at some point so please excuse the 'inception'-like self referential nature of all this. The main message here is - steering group meeting in about 30 hours. Please comment on this post to amplify your voice within that forum. Rock on!
