[okfn-discuss] Directory of OKFners and CKAN support in Costa Rica

Thu Apr 25 17:28:19 UTC 2013

This is a tricky question - how many people are OKFners? Is it the people
actively involved in Working and Local Groups? Is it the Advisory Board and
everyone on this discussion list? Is it the people who regularly check in
on http://blog.okfn.org/ to see what we've been up to? I think the answer
is 'yes to all the above and more', but it's difficult to count us all, let
alone create a directory :-)

Stef's comment about legal / contractual is a good point, and voluntary and
opt-in is a good start! Nigel's 'vouching' is a good plan too, but keeping
any sort of directory brings certain responsibilities to look after the
personal data of those on it - even with the opt-in it's not clear, as
people can't really opt-in to sharing with groups and individuals they
don't know yet (or maybe they can...).

Anyway, Tom (and others) I would love to hear your thoughts on how to do
this - it would be great to enable more recognition of our amazing
community!
