So put together http://wiki.openid.net/2010-Planning which lists the officer roles we need to fill and a stab at the various Committees and chairs (based off of this thread Don's deck). It's a wiki, please be editing! --David On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 10:30 PM, Chris Messina <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: It would seem that renaming Marketing to Adoption might be a prudent move, if it also brings with it certain criteria for success and metrics to help gauge progress. I think that the "Marketing" committee was ill-defined and had weak support - especially from a branding perspective where there is still no agreement on how important OpenID is a consumer brand. As such, I can see how the first priority should be Adoption, which could include pushing for the test suite and improving the libraries, which would be followed by a more rigorous marketing approach. Otherwise, I agree with focusing on committees, but I also think that we need to come up with a better approach to encourage progress within the committees, and for them to report their progress on the openid.net<http://openid.net> website and lists. I think we've done a poor job communicating with the outside world what is going on with OpenID - and participation on these lists alone does not suffice.

We need to disband our current Marketing Committee - it hasn't done anything - and create appropriate Committees with clear goals and leaders. --David On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 8:50 PM, Allen Tom <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Given that adoption depends on RPs actually adopting OpenID, I think it's > important that we visibly demonstrate to the community that RPs (or at least > potential RPs) have a voice. > > Allen > > > On 1/14/10 7:23 PM, "David Recordon" > <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > 2010 is the year where we must work on developing OpenID as a product beyond > just a technology.
