[MyData & Open Data] this group's thoughts on definitions

[Katelyn Rogers]

Hi Stef,

Thanks for your input.

Regarding etherpads, while we no longer have private etherpads, we do have
public ones and as this is a public conversation please feel free to add
website comments here (http://okfnpad.org/p/OpenData&MyDataWG) rather than
in the google doc.

@Sam (and everyone): you can still create public etherpads @
http://new.okfnpad.org/


Thanks again,
Katelyn
