Ah. Some things about that:

* in the right sidebar, under categories, there is no "category" for
   the "tag" "technical-committee"
* assuming the blog is up to date there were three postings in that
   tag last year, and none so far this year
* there are some posts from this year, but they didn't get the tag

I think on a blog is a great idea, but my point with above and the
earlier message is either that the blogging is not happening or I'm not
finding it. The impression I got from your earlier message was that
summaries from the meetings were being produced. The TC met more than
three times in 2014, yes? So either something is amiss with linking
up the blog posts or the summaries aren't happening.

I think it would be great if there were weekly or montly summaries. They
can go to whatever medium is deemed appropriate but it is critical that
new folk are able to find them.

_Summaries_ are critical as it is important that the information is
digested and contextualized so its relevance can be more clear. I
know that I can read the IRC logs but I suspect most people don't
want to make the time for that.
