Ryan's Update: Week of March 29, 2010

In an Internet landscape full of "what I ate for breakfast" posts, here's my semi-regular dose of transparency and accountability to the Joomla community as to my activities as Open Source Matters (OSM) President.

Week in Review

• completed my first draft on a few roles and responsibilities documents for OSM Board positions and volunteer opportunities
• gave a speech at Imperial College Business School in London about open source business models
• had a chance to meet up with a few Joomla! community members while in London
  
• continued my series of voice calls with each of the OSM Board members and Leadership Team members to hear their thoughts on measures of success for OSM in 2010
• nearly completed my documentation of positions I'll be handing over to other people soon:  Joomla Events Team Leader, OSM Capital Committee Chair, and Joomla Major Events Co-Chair; documenting these brings to light all the work that goes into them, and will help provide measures of success for future leaders
  
• delegated the process of posting Joomla!Day events to the Joomla! Community Web site, which will help in speeding up that process
  
• met with our legal counsel in Washington DC
• agreed to speak at the upcoming Joomla!Day New England
• prepared materials and information for attendees of the Non-Profit Technology Conference in Atlanta next week
  
• started early preparations for speaking at future events later this month
  

Next Week's Preview and Goals

• receiving feedback from the OSM Board on my first roles and responsibilities documents
• attending the Non-Profit Technology Conference in Atlanta, USA (April 8-10)
• working with the Melbourne, Australia team on early preparations for their major event later this year
• reaching Inbox Zero for my OSM mailbox
• voice meetings with at least 5 OSM Board members and Leadership Team members
• delegating my past/current responsibilities to other capable OSM Board members
• keeping the well of positivity full
