The board has had a Face2Face meeting in Seattle Nov 4th and 5th. They would like to share their results with the Management Team.
Minutes doc:
Board wanted to tell management team they have confidence in their decision making. Feel empowered to take decisions.
Working Groups should set out goals for the year
Each Working Group to have a budget of $1000 for short term spending. No need for prior approval, but you do need a receipt (and need to report back what you’ve spent it on) Spending on meeting face to face is allowed
Moderation and Banning was discussed at the board meeting. Banning should occur across all lists and channels. (Further discussion with Management Team)
Long term goals. Goals for each working group. WGs could also discuss how their stuff is related to the four overall goals.
Nothing happening with DWG at the moment.
Running latest version of Rails
Reached an agreement with Chief Directorate of National Mapping Agency of South African government to gain access to national map database. After signing, a press release will be made together with CWG.
License changeover work. Phase 4 in progress and being monitored by LWG. Relatively low acceptance rate in Germany. People holding off to know more about the nature of the database changes.
Discussion: Seek press attention around the license change? Undecided. Harry will discuss further with CWG
Local Chapters WG has been transferred to Oliver as board representative. Henk and Oliver will get together to get this started again.
We had a meeting last night, the minutes are yet to be published. Main topics were progress on addressing the “flows” issue, the server purchase, tile layers and scaling the database service. We had Harry with us representing CWG.
Also, Rails3 code has been deployed and is being monitored for any performance issues.
Some recent things: facebook pages merged. blog post about tile abuse. Recent announcement about April 1st date.
In the pipeline: fundraising, board F2F minutes, Dev communication
Call for proposals. SteveC volunteered to take the lead on this, but anyone else would like to take it on?
Retropectively looking back over suggestions / requests about OpenStreetMap from the community over the past few years to build a strategy.
