Thanks @bnewbold.net for taking up this role and for everything you do!

Please join me in welcoming the initial working group members: @tomcoates.bsky.social, @schuyler.info, and @mizmay.bsky.social

Also, please feel free to join our public discussions in the lcwg-atgeo-gazetteer channel in the API Touchers discord server.

We’ll be talking more at the conference about an #atgeo working group. The initial lexicon work is @lexicon.community

Tell us what you’re working on and what you’re trying to do!

Last, but not least, we've formalized a Code of Conduct to emphasize our commitment to a harassment-free, inclusive environment where all community members feel safe and respected.

This is derived from the established and tested www.contributor-covenant.org.

We've also expanded guidance on contributing effectively, ensuring that contributions—whether technical, policy-related, or other—are supported and valued.
