A FEW MORE POINTS
Delivering the world’s best open data management system
The purpose of the CKAN Association is to support sustainable growth and development of CKAN while also protecting the interests of the CKAN community.
The Association values a healthy and thriving community which continues to deliver the best open data management system in the world.
CKAN ASSOCIATION: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Community interests, or needs, can be generalised as:
1. Users need an enterprise level open data management system tailored to meet their needs now and into the future.
2. Individual contributors need a project that is rewarding to work for, inclusive and active.
COMMUNITY INTERESTS
Who owns or directly manages the CKAN project?
The project, its releases and future direction are cooperatively managed by its community of users and contributors. Association delegates, staff and office holders may be active within the project but will exercise no more or less influence than any other contributor or user.
More information about CKAN and how to contribute can be found at CKAN.org.
DELEGATION TO SERVE AND PROTECT
What is the current structure of the CKAN Association?
See http://ckan.org
The steering group carries on a number of business activities.
This includes raising revenue, managing resources and directing projects or programs of activity relevant to the CKAN Association’s statement of purpose.
COMPLETENESS OF PURPOSE
FORMAL MEMBERSHIPS
It's easy to find people willing to fund or work on the flashier parts of CKAN, and there is some funding for core work such as meetings and preparing releases. But there are a few important things that aren't getting addressed.
Fix Security Issues
There are a small number of known issues that high profile sites work around by implementing workflows and tight controls over users and data published. Everyone else would benefit from a more-secure-by-default CKAN.
Clear Technical Debt
CKAN, has some parts that should be replaced or removed. This work doesn't add any new features and worse, threatens to break upgrades for existing sites and extensions. It is necessary work though. Unless performance and technical limitations are addressed they will grow and start turning users away from CKAN.

HOW MEMBERSHIPS BENEFIT CKAN
Foundations of Open Government 25
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.

The role of Government in Australia 26
It should support civil society and its multiplicity of voices and activities.
It should provide the economic framework and the essential infrastructure for public and private enterprise.
