So far news is going well :)

This is part of focusing on new users Cameron, trying to source case
studies from more locations, it will be one of the few ways for a vendor to
increase their visibility for example.
In this we are inspired by the QGIS team who has been able to maintain case
studies of some description.

That is a good idea, have a "try out open source" under projects, linking
to OSGeo live and describe what is available, there are also some mac and
windows distributions.

You have hit on the boundary cases where the content is not specifically
directed at new end-users - but instead focused on OSGeo members. I expect
much of this could be moved to the wiki to keep the website smaller and
focused.

If you go back to the outreach focus you should see the reasoning behind
the breakdown:
- Committees describe the internal functioning of our foundation, most of
these groups are already happy communicating on the wiki.
- Local chapters are an out reach tool and should be highlighted on the
website.

Sorry I was unable to take better meeting notes, there was a concurrent
board meeting.
