Agenda & Minutes

Online Calendar

We would like to have a shared online calendar. The gCalendar of osmfoundation.org does not work good enough for accounts outside the group. Action: Mikel

WG minutes to MT

Action: Henk >> send our reminder for WG to send their minutes to MT for informational purposes.

Working Group action plan for 2012 (Big Audacious Goals)  

Discussing the WG plans on the mailinglist (and how they relate to the BAG set in Seattle). Want to have plans from all WG discussed by the next MT meeting.

Maps4All.org

Sam has send us an e-mail with several questions related to the start-up of the Maps4All project. The MT has approved various interim measures:

1) That donations may be solicited via the OSMF donate button for the purposes of this project

2) That donations intended exclusively for the project are to be made with the comment “mapsforall”

3) That Sam may spend these donations, on an accrual basis, on this project

4) That these interim measures are valid until the 1st February only.

It is expected that the maps4all project will seek approval for the formation of a working group at the next MT meeting on 1st February.

Action Henk: Ping treasurer related to the financial aspect of above

We do not have a procedure how to set up a new WG.

Action: Henk to draft a short procedure to send around to MT for input

Action: Mikel check with Sam on starting the procedure to form a Maps4All WG.

Responsibilities of Management Team

Andy to solicit input from Management Team and Board on codifying the division of responsibilities between the two groups, and to publish these for the benefit of the OSMF members. Will also email regarding quorums for meetings, financial authority and so on.

• Simon Poole has joined us.
• Focus is now on getting folks remapping their local areas to reduce problematic data to an absolute minimum before April 1.
• Work on the exact mechanics of how any final data base rebuild has now become an active community rather than OSMF project http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/What_is_clean%3F
• http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe is now a pretty good “helicopter view” visualisation tool … some rules may be tweaked but it gives folks a good idea of what may be problematic in their areas.
• LWG will now formally encourage folks to remap their local areas but initially on a country by country basis with one or more “evangelist” for each. UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Canada, France are the likely first ones.
