Who we are and why we're here:
The Open Metaverse Foundation (OMF)'s mission is to create open software and standards that enable portability and interoperability for an open, global, scalable world that supports interactive and immersive experiences for the benefit of any individual or industry.
Our members include communities, individuals, and companies, all working towards this common goal.

If you’re an observer or here for the first time, this is a meeting where the OMF community comes together to discuss updates and contribution opportunities for the foundation and its projects as a whole. This is your opportunity to become a voice of influence in the community!

Please feel free to introduce yourself in #Community or the voice channel chat as we dive into these agenda items. There will be an open floor in the last 15 minutes of the meeting (if possible) where anyone can discuss items that they feel are relevant to our current or near-future goals.

Outcomes from Discussion topics

• Cross FIGs were discussed, resolution was to identify working groups and create them to facilitate the need.
• Working groups will be proposed in a poll from the community in OMF Community Lists.
• We want to encourage outside communities to come and contribute to our databases with their projects so we do not duplicate effort and can support their communities.
• The community agreed that having a forum in Discord for cross thematic groups would be helpful,
• To help make decisions, each FIG will use polls to come to consensus in the lists.openmv.org for the FIG or community.
• Communication can be hard, we want outcomes to be driven to email threads that can come out of the chatter. Suggestion was to use OMF Lists in any given SIG and create a new thread for people to focus outside of the chatter.
• Create a new working group for overall Architecture discussions.
• Community request for Shark Tank channel so that vendors and anyone who wants to promote a product or project can come in and present for 5-10 minutes and get feedback from the community. Will send a poll out for shark tank times/dates.
• Request to publish guidance on how to communicate about the OMF with positioning guidelines.
• Clarified legal and policy is guidance only, and will never provide requirements or legal advice.
• Discussed best practices for development, suggested building a code and architecture guideline to help out.
