Right now, we are pulling together a draft recommendation that we'll share with the community for feedback. Aiming to have this draft complete by the 15th, and then open it up to the community for a two week consultation period. Presuming that leads to a recommendation to form an entity, we should have something in place by the end of April.

Hopefully we can catch our breath shortly here and re-prioritise the engagement of the community. In the meantime, what kinds of activities would you see a local chapter of OSMF undertaking?
