[open-bibliography] Getting started with the Working Group on Open Bibliographic Data

Wed Feb 24 17:05:53 UTC 2010

Welcome to the new list for the Working Group on Open Bibliographic
Data! A list of current members and the group's purpose is at:

  http://wiki.okfn.org/wg/bibliography

In terms of next steps, the first instance I propose:

  1. We make sure that we have broad representation from existing
projects and initiatives interested in open bibliographic data. It
would be great if everyone could cast their eyes over the list to see
if there are any obvious omissions!
  2. We find a regular slot to have monthly virtual meetings. I
suggest we do this on a weekday in the late afternoon/early evening
GMT, e.g. 1700 GMT / 1800 CET / 0900 PST.
  3. Once we have done 1. and 2., we aim to launch the working group
in the next few weeks?

How does this sound?

All the best,
