I received feedback this week that the MyData Weekly Digest might cover too many internals and is thus not relevant for a general audience. Since it is important for me to spread information about personal data management to as many as possible I restructured the Weekly Digest: the first section “Noteworthy Information” focuses on general news in the personal data area, “Questions Asked” are from questions asked by the MyData community on Slack but with relevance for everyone, and only in this section “MyData Internals” specifics (mostly from the #board, #steering-group, and #community channels) are covered - though only mentioning the topic of discussion but not the decision itself but linking to the respective posting in Slack.
Let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you might have!
