Progress update on our standards work [via OpenActive Community Group]

Over the last few months the OpenActive community group have been working on
our first set of deliverables.

Over on the OpenActive blog I've just published a progress update on our
activity and work to date. If you're new to the community group or just want to
get an overview of our current focus and areas of work, then that post is a
great place to start.

With the publication of the first public draft of our Modelling Opportunity Data
specification earlier this week, we are now looking for more detailed
implementation feedback.

We're asking anyone currently publishing open data as part of OpenActive to
review the specification to test it against real world data.

The progress update identifies some of the areas in which we're keen to get
feedback.

Over the coming weeks we'll continue to hold our regular community hangouts.
These have all been recorded and available on YouTube. By working in the open in
this way we help to keep a record of our discussions and progress, while
allowing as many people as possible to be involved in the group's activities.
Here's a summary of our discussion of yesterday's meeting.

Over the coming weeks we'll be doing more work in some specific areas,
including:

  How to standardise activity lists within the sector, to simplify data
integration
  Extending the specification to include details on support for disabilities at
events. This is an important area and we're going to take the time to focus on
this and ensure its done correctly
  Starting to capture requirements around event attendance, availability and
booking
  Producing more guidance around how to publish opportunity data

You can find details on our next few calls on the mailing list. If you'd like
to get involved, then please do join the group!
