[diversity-talk] Brain Dump from OSM BoF meeting / next steps perhaps?

[alyssa wright]

Thanks so much for this, Martha! Some initial thoughts:

1. Drew and I have been working on turning the presentation into more of a report format that we can send out to media outlets. (Weekend plan includes writing...) I'm wondering if someone would be interested in setting up a barebones website/blog? Saman/Ian you mentioned this github repo but maybe something else would make sense beyond the wiki? Thoughts?

2. If my train ever comes and I can get into the office (love the NYC MTA) I'll start the spreadsheet. With Bart's assistance, I have reached out to someone at Wikipedia's Teahouse. Once we have some of those mission, goals, findings up lets put together an email to send out.

3. I've been contemplating a change the ratio / too few editathon much as wikipedia did a number of months ago. We could work towards this for the Fall. Thoughts? 

More soon!
Alyssa.
