Actions from the meeting:

* start wider discussion around availability of facilities, collecting
example data from community and exploring whether extensions to standards
are required

* invite interested parties to meeting on either 11th/12th december to
discuss an open source data harvester

* review Active Places and how the facilities data it provides could be
mapped to the opportunity data model and whether there are important
properties to include

* ensure that data model and other documentation highlights how Active
Places venues/data can be cross-referenced with the open opportunity data

Next calls:

* 29th November: Moving forward our Activity List work; API dashboard demo
* 13th December: current state of booking APIs in the sector

Cheers,

L.
