Online Programming Project

Project Summary
We are working on an OKF wide programming plan to serve the global community. The plan will be to try for 2 - 3 events per month. The purpose of this wiki page is to outline the strategy and to share with the wider community. This is based on the feedback from the community survey and the inputs from the team summit. We co-hosted a number of online sessions around Open Data Day. We aim to share.

Online Programming can be in a number of forms: a scheduled IRC chat, a community google hangout, a technical sprint or hackpad editathon.  With the communities help we will plan for the following type of programming:
 * Open [Topics to be determined, fill in the blank]
 * How do I [x ] (eg. Ckan, Okfnlabs)
 * Feature Use Cases
 * Policy and Advocacy
 * Local Community Stories

Key Requirements
