Firstly, I didn't expect so much conversation on this. I must say I never really though about the closed nature vs open source of OSM conflict. And I am not a facebook user myself (I really dislike the walled garden idea that is facebook) and only joined Twitter to see what it is about, I've not used it. (However I do sometimes read the info on facebook, search twitter and google plus to see the latest OSM news. Just like I've been lurking and reading the talk mailing lists for years and only joined for this.)
I was only thinking that a load of people use these social networks, we run the facebook account, the Google Plus account and Twitter feed. A billion plus all could spread the word of OSM more. I didn't actually realise their is no YouTube channel. I just thought we had one and that is why I mentioned it, to be honest. But an official channel it would be great for tutorials and stuff but you can always use Vimeo or something. And a bravo for Jonathan for getting this done and I am glad that it was already thought of. And a big thank you for running these social networks and spreading the word of OSM. I would like to think even the biggest critics of these closed-silos would appreciate the work you put in to keep the world informed. I look forward forward to seeing the mock up.
