Hi, As a reminder, if you have feedback on the activity list or editorial guidelines, please can you leave a comment or suggested edit on the documents linked below? To help move things forward I suggested on our call this week that we should: * refine the editorial guidelines, so we have an agreed scope. So please do add your thoughts * look to validate the list against existing open data, to help us test how well it fits and possibly identify any gaps * arrange a face to face meeting to help us move forward with producing a more public draft. I think if we can could get a small group together we could iterate on this pretty quickly. If you're interested in attending a F2F workshop to discuss and revise the Activity List, can you please complete the following Doodle poll? We'll hold the meeting at the ODI offices in London: https://doodle.com/poll/udx8iiyd5cm7e9uv Cheers, L.
