[cdwg] Community Development WG update

[Hamilton, Pam]

Hi all,

Below are the notes from the last CDWG telecon. I would just add that the OpenSFS Execs have not met yet to discuss the recommendations of the CDWG in its white paper. Their face to face meeting is not until October 10-11 so I believe they are in the process of trying to arrange conference calls to discuss it before the face to face.

Given that, I don't have any agenda items for tomorrow's CDWG call. Please let me know if there are any topics to discuss, otherwise, I will cancel the call.  Regards,Pam
