Ulf Moeller Memorial Award

For information purposes:

In memory of Ulf Moeller, the CWG has made a proposal to establish an “Ulf Moeller Memorial Award”. Highlights of the proposal:

Establish the Ulf Moeller Memorial Award, to be awarded annually in recognition of contributions to the OpenStreetMap community.  Award to be announced each May, the month of Ulf's birth. The plan to have the award active for a minimum period of ten years.  The plan is to be administered by the Communication Working Group, or those assigned by CWG.

Allow donors to earmark funds to the memory of Ulf Moeller.  Provide an annual summary of these donations as the Ulf Moeller Memorial Fund.

Earmark €1999 of OSMF funds as seed money for an associated prize for the award winner.

The board has given it’s go-ahead via e-mail.

Upcoming license change April 1st - Db rebuilt

Rebuild mailinglist: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/rebuild

Current status

LWG reports:

• OSM Poland - We are unlikely to get agreement with UMP to get blanket consent to continue using UMP road data currently in the database due to our inability to offer special dual CC-BY-SA license to them. OSM Polish community will try to get permission from individual UMP members. Any technical assistance that can be given them to mark some data as clean and other data as dirty will be appreciated..
• A "Lost Mapper" campaign by Simon Poole to locate mappers based on their email address has been very successful, with over 200 contributors with over 1,000 highways each responding and accepting the new terms so far. Thanks to Tom Hughes for his assistance with this. We will now extend this to contributors with over 40 highways.

Hack weekend

Still need for a hack-weekend?

After lengthy discussion it was concluded a hack-weekend would not really speed up the migration process.
