Core group

KM4Dev is largely a volunteer effort. As we grew, it became clear that we needed some sort of governance group to support the community and help respond to its needs. Hence, the Core Group was created in May 2004. The Core group interacts via a Dgroup and also documents its meetings here in the wiki.

Currently, the Core group consists of 19 community members act - in a voluntary capacity - as a steering committee for KM4Dev. Core group members contribute their time and energy towards supporting the needs of KM4Dev members and building the community. At a minimum, a Core group member contributes through regular email contact with the group, participates in at least 2 conference calls or meetings per year and agrees to take on some tasks based on his/her own interests. In total, this adds up to a minimum of 2 days per year. Each year, during the face-to-face workshop, new members are invited to join. If interested in becoming part to join the core group, come to a meeting, ask to join a call, talk to one of the core group members, or leave a comment in the box below.
