[okfn-advisory] Welcome to the Open Knowledge Foundation Advisory Board List

Mon Jun 2 17:50:10 UTC 2008

Dear All,

This is a new list for the Open Knowledge Foundation Advisory Board. The 
Advisory Board exists to advise and assist the Foundation in its work.

While we are in regular contact with many of you individually, we have 
created this list with the hope that we can keep in closer contact with 
the Advisory Board as a whole and so that Board Members can easily get 
in touch with each other and the Executive Group who are responsible for 
the day to day running of the Foundation.

Hence, on this list are members of the Executive Group as well as 
members of the Advisory Board:

   http://okfn.org/about/people/

We hope this list will be used by the Advisory Board to draw attention 
to groups or events that may be of relevance to the OKF and to make 
suggestions regarding the direction of its projects, activities and 
fund-raising efforts. We also hope Advisory Board Members will be able 
to join the Executive Group in annual (or possibly bi-annual!) meetings 
to discuss these and other matters.

The OKF has just passed its 4th birthday and it has come a long way 
since its inception in 2004! With your continued support we hope it will 
see many more such birthdays and continue to be active in promoting open 
knowledge in all its forms.

Regards,

Rufus Pollock
