Community BIZ

We introduced the new wordpress blog that will become the website and invited stewards to edit their pages. they need to create an account to login and then ping Eugene or Kaliya to change the permission on the account to editor - to edit the page.


We went over the new community one pager. People liked it - there was a conversation around specific langauge that may be to polarizing. It was agreed it would be changed. Dean spoke - about how he saw the community and what happens at IIW where people's ego's an company hubris is checked at the door and with this "everyone gains." He explained about a frequent thing that happens talking to others about Mike Jones from Microsoft who within the context of the community brings people together and makes a lot of good things happen that is he welcomed and doing a good job. He has shared this with people and seen their jaw drop at hearing it.

We talked about interviewing people to tell their stories about what Identity Commons means to them. We are going to put an outline together to get budget for production - to the stewards council.

We discussed tag lines. Chris had "the face of identity", there was the "open identity Community" Mike suggested after the call "for all" we are going to discuss more on the list.

.. ... .. ... .. ... .. GREAT CALL!
