So, hopefully that works for most of those interested in the group; what I’ve noticed with a lot of these working groups is that no meeting time is really good for a global community and I’ve started a conversation with my co-leads about how we might make participation easier asynchronously as really the goal is not to find a perfect time to meet, but to get as many of those willing to commit to the objectives as possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So if you are available, please join us on IRC in roughly one hour and once we get through our unfinished business, hopefully we’ll have time to think about ways to do better;<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>=Russ<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Russell Deffner<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Activation Working Group Co-lead<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org">Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hotosm.org/">http://hotosm.org</a><u><span style='color:blue'><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
