Hello, Today Open Knowledge hosted a Community Feedback Session. There were approximately 48 participants. A few folks spoke up (thank you) and we took some notes to share back.
*Key Themes:* - The consultation and implementation processes for the Brand launch was not clear, not done well and should have included more community input. This needs to be fixed going forward for the next stages. - The brand messaging needs to be adjusted to actually meet the diversity and extent of the community. - Open Knowledge needs to improve communication with the community and be clear, translatable. - Open Knowledge, in general, needs to be more transparent and involve the community more for all activities. - What are the next steps for the Brand implementation? How can the community consult? What changes can the community make? How will this work? - The community specifically requested more input and clarity for local groups, working groups, chapters, individuals. Add to this: they want to be part of the decision-making going forward. *Full Notes* (includes some next step suggestions) https://hackpad.com/Open-Knowledge-Community-Feedback-cDMjLJATlj4 *Brand details on the wiki:* http://wiki.okfn.org/About_the_Open_Knowledge_brand *Feedback:* For ongoing feedback, this loop needs to be closed. For now, use the hackpad and wiki. I will ask the folks who do network and communications to follow up with regards to the brand changes. Stay tuned on this.

And, sadly the meeting tech tool crashed mid-call. But, it is available. If audio is your thing and you can clean it up, we would be much obliged. Recording: http://bit.ly/1l3JCaJ (wav and mp3) *Next calls:* We received a number of notes asking to host another session with more notice and in a different timezone: Scheduler for the next meetings http://doodle.com/3yfpanwuew8k57fm (This is in EDT, please convert your timezones in the tool or use timeanddate.com) Thank you all for keeping up the conversations.
