KM4Dev Core Group
The KM4Dev Core Group is an active group within the KM4Dev community that de-facto manages or at least facilitates the community. The Core Group supports the community in a number of ways: it provides ideas and suggestions to host KM4Dev face2face events; organizes management of the community's various platforms and channels; addresses technical issues and promotes technology stewardship and; strategizes and secures funding modalities.
The Core Group meets at least 2-3 times a year, virtually, and piggybacks on face2face events when possible. The Core Group is also organizing the monthly rotating facilitation of community channels (dGroup; Ning; Wiki), see the Doodle we use for planning.
Since 2011 the Core Group can also appeal to a supporting voluntary group of other KM4Dev members listed [on this page]
The Core Group has a Technology Stewardship responsibility to ensure that KM4Dev's ICT platforms provide the conducive environment for the community to thrive. In the past this responsibility was delegated to a Technology Assessment or Advisory Group (TAG). Currently (end 2013) this group is not operational and the creation of a proposed Technology Stewardship Group (TSGroup) (see CTLab 2012 documentation) has not yet been endorsed and created. An entry point to technology related documentation can be found here TAG work area
