Serge Wroclawski (VP)

At SOTM, spent time with OSM administrators discussing mirrors of OSM. Discussed US Tiger data with Andy Allen. Serge will look into improving existing documentation. Also discussed Bing requirements.

Thea Clay (Treasurer)

People are signing up regularly. Will be getting a donation of a copy of Quickbooks for keeping financial records.

Richard Welty (Secretary)

1) Membership form and Paypal Link up and running

2) Had to set myself up as a second account on the OSM-US Paypal account in order to use Paypal technical support; as it happens this allows me sufficient access that I can manage reconciliation of form submission with Paypal on my own.

3) Membership report as of 6PM ET 7/14/2010. 14 have filled out membership forms: 11 paid members, 2 have submitted forms but not paid via Paypal. 1 has paid via paypal but the payment was “held” as of this morning.

Steven Johnson (at Large)

Continuing with Wiki cleanup.

Steven’s employer will be contributing $250 to SOTM.
