Anu and Joel meeting
Present: Anu, Joel
Agenda:
- Check-in
- Updates from Joel
- Updates from Anu
- Joel gives feedback
- Next actions
Actions:
- Anu to add more stuff about harvesters in https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/7492 esp about NHS/National Grid work with Aircan.
- Joel to point GSA folks to that discussion and try to get paid pilot project from them.
Notes:
- Dathere is focusing on larger and few clients for now as they feel stretched/complicated to do a lot of small clients.
- Joel has raised multi-tenant CKAN before and his vision about commoditizing CKAN. But he isn't sure if it can be sustainable.
- Joel thinks CKAN provides a classic Library catalog which is not very innovative and appealing. We need to look into other features esp around getting meaning out of data rather than cataloging raw data.
- Joel thinks we should focus on GSA short-term and try to get a pilot project with them.
- He thinks Civic Actions aren't a great partner. They have been a reason why GSA project wasn't really successful.
- People were frusturated with Andres and he was working on harvesters stuff.
- No idea what happened with CKAN operator (spinning up a CKAN intance per gov agency etc.)
- Generally, Joel isn't really interested in selling our SaaS offering but open to provide feedback.
- Joel hates RFPs and doesn't want to do it anymore. He thinks in the US tenders are done when decision is already made so it's only for formality.
