Seeking champions for the 2023 OCL Community Roadmap!

This year, we’re trying something new…

For each goal in our 2023 OCL Community Roadmap, we are recruiting organizations and individuals to volunteer as a “champion”. A good “champion” is someone who will help to shepherd a goal across the finish line, through advocacy, building momentum, thought leadership, and facilitation, or sometimes through actual technical work, like software development. And since this is new, almost all of the goals need a champion!

Take a look at the draft roadmap on the OCL Community Website: 2023 OCL Community Roadmap (Draft) | Open Concept Lab

Reach out here or contact someone on the team if you’d like to get involved
