[Openglam_members] GLAM Benchmark Survey - Next Steps

Wed Jan 22 15:06:55 UTC 2014

Think that is actually a good idea. We're growing quite fast and not
everybody is interested in becoming an openGLAM working group member. Also
we flood the members list with benchmark messages, making it easier to miss
others if you're not involved in it. If that could be a list that Beat has
admin access to that would be perfect.

Cheers,

Joris
