Feedback from the Open Source Advisory Board

  • Will we have another event like this in 6-12 months?
    • Instead of having another big event, having smaller and more reoccurring events across Canada that focus on specific topics
    • Before doing another one, decide why we need to have one, who needs to be there and dependencies on other activities
  • Open Government summit
    • Hosting in May
    • Melanie Robert will do a presentation at the next OSAB
    • Open Source Academic papers
    • Open standards but also open culture
  • For the next event, have real time transcription
