Our Community participants come from all over the world -- Central and Western Europe, North America, South America, Australia, India, and China. Video-based conference calls are held regularly; asynchronous conversations flow on our Slack Channels, and a growing share drive holds minutes, meeting recordings, and documents.
OVN Communities advise our standing committees on such critical topics as architecture, development tools, enterprise use cases, ethical use and local regulations and issues. They are a sounding board and a review body. The OVN Community members are also the experts who will take key roles on OVN Work and Project Groups, drafting the proposed standards and ethical use guidelines that will enable the future of conversational AI.
Each OVN Community is moderated by one or more Community members, responsible for Community development, meeting planning, and coordination with other OVN activities.
