[Board] hangout / work party reminder

[Helena Mitasova]

Cameron,

just a further clarification - Maxi is working on a survey as a means for members to provide input -
so yes, the community will be involved in development of the plan and the draft, initial document will be posted, it just still
needs some cleanup.

>> Personally I do not mind if the strategic plan is shared as it is under development, but am apprehensive about collecting "actions" from the wider community. Not because I am scared of the membership - because I am concerned that the actions remain tight/focused/measurable and something we can accomplish in 2016.  If that is not communicated clearly many actions be submitted that cannot be used - leading to people feeling ignored.

>>> - With respect to the strategic plan we also talked about a form to collect measurable actions ideas from the community. Really                           challenging to write a good form. Discussion focused on providing an example (say in a blog post) and limiting the form to a single idea at a time (submit multiple times if you have more ideas).  (IDEA: can we make a radio button to identify which strategic objective the idea is focused against?)
>>> - MS worked on updating the sponsorship page with geocat logo - we need a better quality logo to make this work (different sponsorship levels have different sizes of icons)
>>> - Amusing discussion around logos holding things up - gold/silver/bronze, projects/technology (eek!)
