Re: [OSM-talk] [Osmf-talk] Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behavior in the OSM Community

[Heather Leson]

Good morning

As Celine mentioned, we are a coalition of people who want change in OSMF
and OSM. Our statement clearly states that we are willing to work with OSMF
(working groups, board, membership) and OSM (community, project and
network). This means collaboration with the local chapters and community
working group as well as building on the diversity statement made by the
board this year.  Many of you have seen a few of us state this before in
all the forums. Now is the time to listen and meet us half way.

You will note that many of the people who signed do not post on the OMSF
mailing list for fear of targeting. So, please consider why we want change.

On being a woman - every day we have to ask (demand) and show for our
rights to be equal. Every day we have to worry about sexualized actions
and/or comments. Some of us have been through horrible experiences and
others just want to never talk about gender again. So why do we bring it
up? We bring it up because we see it, we feel it and we experience it. What
I ask for you all is to spend a day talking with women in your lives.  We
just want to 'be' too, but the reason we speak up is because being called
derisive terms makes us not feel like this is a safe place. As such, we ask
to, as one person stated - focus on the issues, not the people. But, we
will focus on people and gender until we don't have to point out
discrepancies.

For Frederik - yes, you said a word that is sexualized and fairly violent
for many of us. Honestly, we have been catcalled and treated like objects
for years. Let's do better. I think you will too. Yes, your name is listed
there but only because it was 'the this time story' - meaning, yet another
reason why people leave OSM and or feel like they cannot participate. Words
matter. Tone Matters. We matter. I appreciate your passion for the project,
but please don't equate our passion for change as about you alone. This
document was written by many people. I, for one, don't 'hate' here.  We are
just trying to open up this conversation, no matter how raw it is for all
of us.

For comments about Frederik's name in the statement. I added a comment to
the statement document to consider if it should be a footnote, but to
recognize the origins of this statement and coalition "There were requests
on the OSMF mailing list to remove names from the statements. While this
was a trigger, perhaps this could go as a footnote?"

Mateusz Konieczny - your point about "citizens" is well noted. I added a
comment to consider editing this. "there was a comment on the OSMF mailing
list that not all people who benefit from OSM are citizens of a country
.This is very true especially with migrants and displaced people."

For John Whelan - "The danger in Celine's confrontational approach is we
throw the baby out with the dish water."

We are all here with her asking for change. We want OSM to be ok for us to
read and post to the list without being asked about babies and household
chores.

For Clay - this is why we all jointly wrote the note to stand together and
post as a group.

For Jean-Marc - thank you for considering the middle way and seeking to
listen and understand.

We were all fairly taken aback by his comments. The point is - we cannot
consistently keep saying there are issues and not do more. This was indeed
a trigger point. But let's focus on the bigger picture.

Let's work together to find a middle ground to be truly diverse and
inclusive. I am sure there will be many iterations of the planning as we
work to convert it into action.

Heather

[Diversity-talk] Code of conduct

[Heather Leson]

Hey

A few of us are going to meet this saturday about code of conduct in osm.
There is a codw of conduct but we think there needs to be more. We can also
touch on the diversity work that mikel shared previously.

1500 utc before the osmf board meeting at 1600 utc.

Hope you can join. This will be a small group discussion. We can always
widen the circle later.

Link to be shared later. Note this will be a safe and positive space
discussion. We will adhere strongly to the diversity list code.

Thanks so much

[Diversity-talk] Some thoughts on upcoming governance

Dears the OSMF board elections are coming soon. The current board has done
good work.

How can we support a diverse and inclusive board? I think we should all
help make this happen

Hi folks, I hope you and yours are safe and resting

Maybe for one of your open source projects


Heather

Subject: [Foundations] [DEADLINE: MAY 15] Apply for FOSS Responders
Funding… NOW!
To: FLOSS Foundations 


Hi all,

Hope this note finds you well in light of current world events.

FOSS Responders <https://fossresponders.com/> is a working group of
volunteers with a purpose to help those in the open source community
affected by the economic fallout from COVID19.

Along with Indeed, Open Source Collective, Google, GitHub, Linux Fund,
Sentry (and more) we will be hosting our very first Virtual FOSS Funding
Event
<https://opencollective.com/foss-responders/events/virtual-funding-event-q2-2020-4edd1e3a>on
Friday, May 22nd.  And we want you!!

The event is a celebration of our community, our ingenuity, and our
resourcefulness during the best of times… and the worst of times. We’ll
have “rooms” set up to showcase selected projects and allocate $100K of
financial support.

*We encourage you to apply for that support
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeo7NwDVs9O1JJ9cVZmypEiw50lEuot7gu3-dqOswr2dazUzg/viewform>!
Deadline for Applications on May 15th. Act now! *

If you have any questions, feel free to ping me directly, email us at
he...@fossresponders.com and/or hop on the #fossresponders channel in the
opencollective <https://opencollective.slack.com/#/> workspace.

They say we’re all on this together. Let’s make it so.

Best,
Alyssa.

PS Whether you have a request or just an itch to see your open source
friends (Because seriously, what does their curation of imaginary
background really look like? Can you believe that's in their library?), *ALL
are cordially invited to attend the FOSS Funding event. SIGN UP
<https://opencollective.com/foss-responders/events/virtual-funding-event-q2-2020-4edd1e3a#section-tickets>

Re: [Diversity-talk] UK Chapter Feedback on Diversity Statement

[Heather Leson]

Thanks fro this.

Soren - Diversity statements are important for diversity and inclusion
within global spaces.  To me this is one of the big priorities that OSM has
to address in order to flourish as a global map network and community.

To be honest, I am happy to have a phone call with you and Rory if you have
more questions about 'why.'

[Diversity-talk] State of Community management

[Heather Leson]

Hi Folks, the State of Community Management is a global survey about
community and change. Many of you are engaged in this

https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5275872/b5cd1413269a

Our research provides critical insights to community leaders and the
industry. We could not provide comprehensive and insightful research
without your input and contributions, and we hope this process also prompts
you to reflect and gain insight into your own progress and opportunities.

Re: [Diversity-talk] Community track at SOTM

[Heather Leson]

HI Christine, thanks for this note and reminder. It has been a fairly
difficult week personally, so I do send my respect to the Diversity
community for the radio silence and rush planning.

I constructed 3 sessions based on the past 3 years we have had to build out
community and diversity conversations at SOTM. Each works as building
blocks. I gather we need 3 separate sessions?

The upside is that my flight just got delayed so I can keep working on
this.

The summary  (for cowriting)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yYq4meuX82gVb255LBATHqaNLBakOL-UXWeNA05ieis/edit

Background - listed in my diary entries and from our conversations.


We have only a few hours to submit. I will do so once i sync with Trudy.

Re: [Diversity-talk] [Osmf-talk] First Meeting of Diversity and Inclusion Special Committee

[Heather Leson]

Hi folks, thanks for this dialogue and for holding this space. Last week
was very 'head down' for my day job, so I am later to the conversations.

Some thoughts on a way forward:

   - *Research : *Building an action research and qualitative feedback loop
   could help build trust. I'll reach out to Maggie on this.
   - *Metrics and planning: *we should connect with wider communities in
   the open space on this. Who could help on this front? eg.
   https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Heather%20Leson/diary/392119 and
   https://chaoss.community/
   - *Community advocacy* for a chair role is key. Happy to talk with
   anyone considering this role. And, write up a draft plan. (some resources
   
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lq1ZO4DhxUXv0-CiFxz0Yv8mmryD-fw0yAZZwR7U1V8/edit>
   )
   - *DISC role *- Overall, consistency and planning is key. Thus, I
   recommend monthly checkins, input into the OSMF board f2f and tying the
   activities to the various SOTM activities and local chapter meetups.


Thank you again,
Heather

Re: [Diversity-talk] Community track at SOTM

[Heather Leson]

Thanks for the question, Christine. We were hoping to string together 3
sessions for a morning. This way we can build on how we might progress on
community. My draft suggestion is to consider some of the topics from
fosdem, the osm swot and the community survey. Next I will start a
collaborative draft.

In this draft, we will shape the themes and formats.

I am on work mission this week so I wont be able to tackle this until the
weekend. The good news is that ive been contacted offlist by some allies
who are keen to have productive make sessions

Thanks again

Heather

[Diversity-talk] Community track at SOTM

[Heather Leson]

Hi I chatted briefly with Trudy. Who would like to help me curate a track
on community for SOTM?

Last weekend I went to FOSDEM. There were some great talks that relate to
our work - I curated a list (videos and slides are online)

[Diversity-talk] What can we do in OSM

[Heather Leson]

Hi Folks, I've been thinking about Allan's call to share Strengths,
Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats. Have you added anything?  I added
some comments today.

If you don't feel comfortable adding details or creating an anonymous
account, but want to give your points, I and others could happily help.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_SWOT

I asked Allan (board) what they will do with this data and input.
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/apm-wa/diary/391918#comments> It is a
large accountability line.

"As for a “community curated OSM strategy and project roadmap”, let’s
please take one step at a time. There is a faction within OSM’s community
that has expressed strong opinions that nothing is broken and thus no
actions are needed by the Board, period."

Thanks

[Diversity-talk] New book - Hacking Diversity

[Heather Leson]

Hey David and I both came across this book. Any other people interested in
reading?

"Yet surprisingly few women participate in it: rates of involvement by
technologically skilled women are drastically lower in hacking communities
than in industry and academia. *Hacking Diversity* investigates the
activists engaged in free and open-source software to understand why,
despite their efforts, they fail to achieve the diversity that their
ideals support."

Re: [Diversity-talk] Yes, this CoC can look at behaviour on twitter | Re: Diversity 2020 Article

[Heather Leson]

Thanks for this discussion.

When we wrote the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Code of Conduct and
process, I started collecting examples of practices across open
communities. You can find this list here.
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lq1ZO4DhxUXv0-CiFxz0Yv8mmryD-fw0yAZZwR7U1V8/edit>
The HOT code of conduct can be found here

Our Resolution process - guidance for how to improve
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Working_groups/Community/HOT_Resolution_Process>

Our OSM Etiquette guidance has some of the 'sentiment'
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Etiquette

What is missing is - the norms, culture and, sadly, the enforcement to make
the wider community space a safe and inclusive space.

I really appreciate how Mozilla has worked to openly discuss diversity and
inclusion.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Diversity_and_Inclusion_for_Communities_and_Contributors
I even asked their wider network for guidance on how we should run or 2019
SOTM session. There are many allies in the open space who have been here.
Let's learn from them. I believe in OSM and know that many of us are
observing, doing and making this a healthy space.

thank you

Heather

Collected some articles for discussion.

Be an ally, stop manels

Re: [OSM-talk] [Osmf-talk] SOTM Africa

[Heather Leson]

Thanks for this note.  I have been posting my support for sotm Africa via
social media.

The timing of sotm Africa coincides with 4 board members stepping down.  I
would have gladly gone but it would have likely been flagged as
inappropriate given the fact that in a few weeks I am retiring.


Thanks for supporting

[OSM-talk] Burnout in Open Communities - survey

[Heather Leson]

HI!
Many of us encounter burnout and/or exhaustion in open communities. This is
not something that people share often on these lists, but it is a growing
issue across open organizations.

There is a survey asking for input from Open Source Initiative:

The survey uses the *FLO* (Free/Libre/Open) acronym instead of *FLOSS*
because the scope of the research includes projects that aren't primarily
about software. In most ways, you can think of *FLO* and *FLOSS* as being
equivalent.

Survey results may be used to:

   - to help develop a presentation on recognizing, avoiding and recovering
   from burnout.²
   - to help develop anti-burnout self-help resources.³
   - inform more rigorous research on burnout in FLO project participants.


https://wyhdaad.limequery.com/578576

Some reading:
https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/23/open-source-sustainability/

Just the messenger. No affiliation. I'll share the results.

Take care,

Heather

Re: [Diversity-talk] Your talk submission for SotM 2019

[Heather Leson]

Hi folks I added comments. And, Rebecca, thanks for writing this post and
taking so many notes.

Overall I felt that our OSM SOTM session was not just about the conference.
The blog post does lean towards that. I changed the 2nd section to include
"wider osm" as we talked abour governance and leadership overall at osm


Again - thank you everyone for this collaboration. I am sure this post will
resonate with many.

See you soon

Dear colleagues, thank you so much for this discussion.

I started the draft here - https://pads.ccc.de/bwWXryNYXv

Rebecca, I think you took some notes as well?  would you be able to fold
these in?

HI folks, I heard back from Rebecca and Patricia. they will help out. We

4 or 5 helpers (low prep, just help lead a discussion)

Re: [Diversity-talk] Your talk submission for SotM 2019

[Heather Leson]

Dear colleagues,

I hope that your summer was grand.

I am researching formats for this. One thing that might help us is to
tackle what is inclusive language and what are some of the measures to
improve diversity - specifically in the board and working groups. Thoughts?

"The OSM community is global and diverse. Building on last year's Open
Heroines conversation, we will co-create a space for OSM to talk about how
to improve diversity and inclusion in our amazing project. All welcome."

How can OSM be more diverse and inclusive? Join us to share your lessons
and ideas on how we might grow and support a Diversity and Inclusive
approach in OSM. This is an activity taking place across other 'open'
communities. We will ask participants to co-create plans and identify how
we might incorporate it into small and big activities within the global
network. The format will be co-created with some potential outcomes. The
goal is to be a conversation with interactive, participatory methods and
some small group work.

[Diversity-talk] Fwd: Dear Men | Robot Ethics | FF 4 Good | Summertime

I thought you might be interested in these questions to consider

Just a quick update. For those that asked,  here is a summary of questions
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cOUgTwwLBKIgeVfFMvUnK2y64ixr07h1RcM36f0jC2Q/edit#>
we saw on the 'Dear Men' calls, and some of the responses/links we
gathered.
I feel like having a workshop to help cis-men set goals, and create an
accountability partner might be a next logical step, but interested in what
you think.  I can see how much the idea of Lucas's book club would be
welcomed here too. Maybe we can pilot that later this summer?

The RSVP invite for our July 19th call can be found here.
<https://events.mozilla.org/diversityinclusioninopencommun>  WE WOULD SO
LOVE to hear about what you're working on <3 Please join and share.

Thanks again,

-Emma

To: Diversity & Inclusion in Open Source <
diversity--inclusion-in-open-sou...@googlegroups.com>


Hi everyone,

Hope all is well, and the sun is shining in your corner of the world  :)

Two quick updates.

Following-up on the newsletter idea, I have a form!  And, if I get enough
submissions
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAlLb6MkO8QJZV6r2ChB9BkzxyFj6N9UrTuyvah4Y6zMAvTQ/viewform>
for good content, then I will publish a July newsletter.

Also, the D call
<https://events.mozilla.org/dearmeninopensourcethiscallisf> this week is a
different one, and based on the conversation before, where I think we
agreed that bringing people in from the edges is critical to make
progress.  To that end,  my call is an experiment in direct-invite of those
folks  - with promise of a safe space to ask questions, and support in
goal-setting.  We'll see, I hope I don't spend the hour alone!   If you can
help direct people who would benefit,  I would be grateful - here's a
great sample
tweet <https://twitter.com/sparklingrobots/status/1136049562836037632> from
Drupal's @Sparklingrobots.

Thanks so much!

Re: [OSM-talk] [Osmf-talk] Anyone who likes to organize an ID discussion panel at SotM?

[Heather Leson]

Dear Christine, Bryan and colleagues,

Thank you for this conversation. Christine, thanks for the consideration.
Many people use ID. It is part of OSM.

Bryan, i will reach out to separately on this topic. My goal is really to
understand using this example on how we might improve for all people. The
negativity is hard for me to, so we can start with a chat? More in a
separate note.

I have also had some interesting experiences and frankly, I think OSM
deserves to really think and do more. Call me an ally, but I believe there
is room for all of us. Community health is a big concern.

Thank you

Heather

[Diversity-talk] Diversity and Inclusion session - SOTM

[Heather Leson]

HI folks, building on last year's Open Gender Monologues, I am submitting a
session for SOTM on Diversity and Inclusion. The deadline is today but I am
hoping we can all co-create the plans.

"The OSM community is global and diverse. Building on last year's Open
Heroines conversation, we will co-create a space for OSM to talk about how
to improve diversity and inclusion in our amazing project. All welcome. "


How can OSM be more diverse and inclusive? Join us to share your lessons
and ideas on how we might grow and support a Diversity and Inclusive
approach in OSM. This is an activity taking place across other 'open'
communities.

We will ask participants to co-create plans and identify how we might
incorporate it into small and big activities within the global network.

The format will be co-created with some potential outcomes. The goal is to
be a conversation with interactive, participatory methods and some small
group work.

See more about this topic:

Martin, thank you. As mentioned,  I am working on that internal deadline.
The draft is currently under review.

How was your Saturday morning? Mine was writing and reviewing these drafts
on Crimea and other topics. I warmly remind you that consensus building
does take time. We are very much making every effort to meet the need.

[Diversity-talk] Feedback - Open Gender Monologues & Gender and Diversity chat SOTM 2018

[Heather Leson]

Hi folks,

The Open Gender Monologues had a great chat with some tips and tactics to
improve participation and healthy engagement. Great to hear some positive
experiences too.


We also co-hosted a session at the SOTM with Geochicas plus Kate and I.

In this session, we asked the participants to give input in how to be more
supportive. They made statements "I will" "We should stop" and "we should
start/continue". People wrote their ideas/thoughts on sticky notes (in
private) then we added them to the charts.


https://pads.ccc.de/WXSlyAqS8t

Celine, Kate and I will work to blog this. Joost will be sharing with the
community Birds of a feather today too.

Back to it.

HI colleagues,

I'm writing to ask if you would like to share about experiences around
gender in OSM. We are looking for a wide range of voices and ideas.

If you feel like you can share publicly (online or in person) or
anonymously, we welcome your guidance. Details. Perhaps you can also share
with your networks?

[OSM-talk] Open Gender Monologues at SOTM

[Heather Leson]

Hi

At State of the Map Milan, we are hosting an Open Gender Monologue
discussion. It is an open forum to talk about experiences in OSM. Our goal
is to build a space for conversation and for learning from each other.

Here are more details on how to participate:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Heather%20Leson/diary/44407

We'd really appreciate it if you could share this link with your OSM
networks.

Thank you,


Heather and Kate

[Diversity-talk] Fwd: [grassrootsmapping] OpenHour: Code of Conduct- reflecting on two years

HI I am sharing this as you might find it interesting. It is always good to
learn how another open community functions around this effort.

Subject: [grassrootsmapping] OpenHour: Code of Conduct- reflecting on two
years
To:


Hello!
This month the Public Lab Code of Conduct <https://publiclab.org/conduct>
turns two years old!

Born from conversations at the 2015 Barnraising, influenced by experiences
of other open communities, and modified and adapted by the Public Lab
community - this living document is where we declare our intentions to "care
for ourselves and one another" and "nurture a compassionate democratic
culture where responsibility is shared."

This month, on OpenHour, we will spend a moment reflecting on how
implementing the Code of Conduct has gone, share a conversation about
updates that might need to be made, and hear experiences other groups have
had in exercising their own codes of conduct.

OpenHour will be this coming Monday, July 9th, at 8pm ET.  We hope to see
you there!

Re: [Diversity-talk] Poll for next Quarterly Project (2018Q3)

[Heather Leson]

HI!

Rory, thanks for this discussion. There are 3 voters so far. It might help
to have some guidance on the types of projects and how people might
contribute. There are some new folks on this list.


For example.

Topic: Women's health facilities
Wiki page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_in_Support_of_Women_and_Girls
and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Diversity

Goals: can you look in your neighbourhood and be sure that these are
tagged?

Re: [Talk-ca] New project with OSM at Statistics Canada

[Heather Leson]

Hi

Maybe the osm ca community could set up an adhoc call or working group to
see how this can help all your efforts?

I'm not in Canada for the foreseeable future and don't have the bandwidth
but this might be a good way to build the relationship.

Excited to see how it plays out.

[OSM-talk] Fwd: [HOT] MapSwipe Launched!

[Heather Leson]

Hi!

MapSwipe is launched today.  I like to think of it as a pre-processing
imagery tool to curate a cleaner dataset for mappers. Imagine less blank,
blurry images, or "nothing to map" tiles. This tool aims to have people
microtask the tiles in a game way. We will start with Missing Maps projects
and then we hope to make it more available as we iterate. (the code is on
github)

http://mapswipe.org/


Mapswipe is an MSF sponsored mobile app supporting projects to go on
OpenStreetMap.

More details below.

Hi all, as promised, MapSwipe is now available on App Store, Play Store and
via http://mapswipe.org/

There's a blog post on it, here:
http://www.missingmaps.org/blog/2016/07/14/mapswipe/

Would love it if you'd give it a go and, assuming you like it (!), give us
a hand sharing it

Lot's of stuff to come, but the app is ready for mapping. At the moment,
these are just Missing Maps projects, but once we are on our feet, we hope
to open it right up. Data exporter also on its way, soon!

If you have any problems, encounter bugs or have comments, please feel free
to let us know at http://bit.ly/MapSwipeFBack We expect some bugs, of
course, and your help pointing them out to us would be much appreciated...


Cheers,

Pete

Re: [OSM-talk] What3words

[Heather Leson]

Well, slightly off-topic but I am often perplexed by the vitriol in OSM. I
even shudder to post this statement because the environment has shown
itself to be hard.

Maybe we can have conversations at SOTM about how to turn this tide in a
collaborative way.

HI Bernie, someone contacted me off list. I am working to coordinate. Just

There is satellite imagery but the licenses are not ideal (yet).

Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

[Heather Leson]

Morning from Doha.

As mentioned previously there are emergency managers trying to get imagery.
This is their first time considering digital volunteers. If I can have one
Canadian volunteer as a point of contact I can hand off the discussion.

Note: they would really love it if it was someone from alberta. However, i
think someone who can work on what is needed is also great.

[Talk-ca] Fort McMurray Fires: CanVOST update for Friday

[Heather Leson]

Hello here is the promised update from the for the Fort McMurray fires.
Summary: the canadian governments haven't asked for crisismapping yet. Step
by step.

CANVOST - this is a group building partnerships and lines of communications
between digital contributors and Canadian government officials. The goal is
to be a Canadian Volunteer network like our allies in the US (VOADs and
VOSTs)

There are details in the note on how to join this mailing list.

I am happy to introduce anyone. Given that I live in Qatar it would be best
if someone in Canada is the liaison.

Thanks

Considering that our current mandate from AEMA is fairly limited (but
important) to Social Media monitoring, message amplification, correcting
misinformation etc. as outlined previously, we do not see an immediate need
for mapping and other tasks. This is directly related to the official
mandate/needs from the AEMA. Of course, we are all free to carry on doing
the work we do to aid citizens directly and I encourage it.

This is CanVOST's first direct engagement with an official agency here and
they have limited the scope of our contribution to essentially the
activities that we exercised with them last year.

Though we know that with all our partners such as yourselves we could bring
more to the table, we are happy to complete the mandate and satisfy our
larger goals of building the trust relationships with government,
demonstrating the value of our collective contributions, and refining our
activation and workflow processes.

That being said, as the situation evolves we are ready to step things up if
AEMA comes back with new requests and a wider scope of work.

We will be reaching out to the PIO's in various EOC's tomorrow to better
our integration with current operations and refine the products that we
supply.

CanVOST has organized it's work schedule, will reach out to other VOST's,
and if anyone from your organizations want to help out with the tasks at
hand for a few hours Patrice would be happy to welcome you on board. Just
contact him directly. patricecloutiermc...@gmail.com

I will message again if things change.

Please contact us if you have any questions or feedback and thank you for
all the support.

Hello

Let me know if you want me to connect you to the emergency managers in the
area. I will give them a heads up that you are talking about it

Two of them are big fans of osm so they might help. But i leave this

few years and attending local events when I can)

Some ideas

Stages

BEFORE, Collect Data
do a digital network map of all the interests of mappers (common tags) and
location (eg. Helipads and railways; Togo and Japan) Martin Dittus did this
for missing maps, Mark Graham just did this for wikipedia.

Have a strong think on how OSM can grow. Look at how communities grow in
open source allies : mozilla, ubuntu, wikipedia. Compare the OSM community
needs on how they wish to grow. Take a look at global community thinking
http://www.communityroundtable.com/research/community-maturity-model/

During

Host an interactive first roadmap session on how to keep organically
growing OSM while being super realistic on what are some of the
gaps/hurdles/opportunity. Plan working group activities to shine globally
tied to and supporting the local OSMer with some resources and love (very
lightweight)
(See aspirationtech.org for details on how to.)

After
Keep working on this digitally to get more people involved and improve it.
Checkin at SOTM and online to see if this works for you.

One thing that I will say is that I love this community's efforts and
volunteer within HOT. I see these small things as potential productive next
steps. OSM has natural leaders but no formal program to support their
growth like Ubuntu or Mozilla. Ive attended the Community Leadership Summit
at OSCON and met many leaders from Mongo to Red Hat to Libre Office. This
is their top priority to support participation,learning, growth and
diversity. My time has been very hard because my skills that are voluntary
gifted are sometimes viewed as less important or deemed as not valuable
enough to be a leader. This is very disheartening because open source
thrives when communities are strong with many diverse skilled people and
plans to thank/mentor people. Yes, OSM can be a Starfish and Spider (yess
this book) but a little plan to go with organic grow might help many thrive.

Thanks for reading

Heather

Re: [OSM-talk] A message to our friends at HOT, Peace Corps etc. about Changeset Comments

[Heather Leson]

Good day fellow OSMers,

I have read this thread with great interest. There are some productive
solutions such as training and technical changes. Thank you. Every day
someone joins OpenStreetMap. Every day someone tinkers and tries to learn.
This is a good thing. In open communities, there is a varied learning arch
from beginner to expert. And, in most open communities, there are a few
moments when the growth from early adopters changes to include a wider,
diverse and global (multi-lingual) community. This is also a good thing.

I am concerned that these discussions close the door for new community
members or quieter community members or people of different skills or
people with lower digital literary skills. To me we are responsible to be
good leaders - welcome new people and be thankful that the community and
OSM improves. Yes, there are processes to change. But the one thing that I
really want to make very clear is that some of the comments are very
elitist and potential limit OSM. I also think that the tone of some of the
notes does not bode well for a healthy space for all.

We are collectively so much better than this potential road. We need to be
kinder.

Thank you,

Heather
OSM Member

Good point.

How about a university? I have had great luck with those. I think that
someone from Norman Patterson (Carleton) has been writing about HOT and
OSM. Let us know

John/Richard, is there a list that folks have on tech specs setting up
Missing Maps? I know that Pete has been doing them often in London UK and
could help if needed.

 Dear All,

 The Toronto bid for State of the Map 2015 was not accepted, so we
 won't be hosting State of the Map 2015 in Toronto.

 I want to thank the hard-working members of the Toronto bid team; you
 enabled us to assemble a wonderful bid on a preposterously short
 deadline.  Well done, and thank you for committing your time and
 experience and for believing in our goal of hosting the best
 OpenStreetMap conference ever.

 Thank you also to the many vendors who were able to meet our request
 for quotes on the aforementioned preposterously short deadlines.  They
 delivered on time.  Thanks further for being so patient and
 understanding when the Toronto bid team had to ask for extension after
 extension to the proposal period when faced with missed deadlines and
 non-decisions from the SotM-WG.

 There will be an official announcement from the State of the Map
 Working Group some time soon with other details.

Re: [Talk-ca] HOT in Canada

[Heather Leson]

Bonjour/ Hi

Sorry for my delayed response due to the upcoming move. Pierre, your
leadership in HOT for activations and for community work is so key. Merci.

I've long felt that the work we do internationally as CrisisMappers could
be used at home.  Richard Weait once mentioned at an OSM Toronto meetup
that it would be a great to have OSM translated into local languages in the
North. Stewart, Charles, Pierre: I think that a proposal to map Canada to
support our northern friends with community mapping parties and youth
engagement would be an amazing project. It is long overdue and I think you
are the ones who could make this possible.

The Canadian government is supporting the large Open Data conference in
Ottawa. Surely, this might be an amazing place to get more allies and
funding support (if needed). http://opendatacon.org/

 Il y a effectivement HOT et ce que nous pouvons faire comme communauté.
 Comme vous savez, je suis beaucoup impliqué dans les activations de HOT
 comme coordonnateur des Réponses OSM telles que Haiyan et Ebola.  Mais je
 m'intéresse aussi à couvrir nos propres territoires. Et effectivement, le
 nord du Canada est peu cartographié et nous pouvons nous donner comme
 communauté le défi de couvrir ces zones, d'établir des priorités pour
 couvrir l'essentiel.  Après cela, il sera toujours possible de compléter
 plus systématiquement à l'aide des données Canvec.

 Au cours des deux dernières semaines, j'ai commencé à faire cela en partie
 pour le nord du Québec. Je me suis concentré sur les réseaux de chemin de
 fer et d'électricité. J'ai d'abord ajouté une ligne de chemin de fer au
 nord de Sept-Iles. J'ai aussi systématiquement révisé le réseau des
 barrages électriques et lignes électriques 735 000 volts.

 Il y a aussi à ajouter les villages, le réseau routier et des activités
 économiques telles les mines.  Partout où l'imagerie Bing est disponible,
 on peut évidemment avoir pour objectif de colorier davantage la carte du
 nord du Canada.

 Pour les communautés isolées telles au nord du Québec, ce peut être une
 bonne approche d'obtenir des traces GPS. Et qui sais, éventuellement des
 images obtenues à l'aide de drones étant donné la petite taille des
 villages.

  Is this remote mapping, or would it be considered ‘in country’? The
  state of some of the northern communities in Canada is a disaster, and
  it makes me ashamed to be Canadian.
 
   Stewart

 Slightly off topic, but a new member of the Montreal community should be
 in Kuujjuaq right now. We discussed how he could acquire gps data before
 he left, so we might get some good ground data in a couple weeks.

 I agree though that we could do more, now, by mapping imagery for the
 northern communities.

[Talk-ca] HOT in Canada

[Heather Leson]

Hello

I'm relatively new to this list but not OSM, so an introduction.  For the
past 5 years or so, I've been active in the Humanitarian OpenstreetMap Team
(HOT)[1] and CrisisMappers Network[2]. As an organizer and supporter, my
role also includes being a member and on the board of HOT. We have our own
HOT mailing list. There are a few of you who may be collaborating on global
OSM projects. (Thank you). Some of you may even be on the HOT list or
contributed to some of the humanitarian activations.

I know this is a talk list for Canada, so I will explain why I posting. HOT
is involved in is the Missing Maps Project with Medicine sans Frontières
and the American Red Cross [3]. This project has regular event in the UK
and is starting to do so in DC. My colleague at MSF asked if I knew of
other Canadians in HOT. He posted to the HOT list and did not reach many.
So, I offer to connect with you. They have an organization who would like
to help support a Missing Maps event in Canada (city is really about who
can help and community capacity). Richard Weait is already doing two
popular, regular mapping events in Toronto. While based in Toronto, I am
moving countries in a few weeks (so I can't help organize).

If you are interested, please do get in touch off list. I want to respect
the list topic and your times.


Thanks and happy mapping,


Heather

 Haitian authorities.

 He was going to make the announcement himself when they are ready, but I

 Good to hear that there's a crowdmap up and running for Isaac / Haiti.
 (Added HOT@osm to the list.)

  I am in the country (have been here about two years) and have started to
 prepare to the storm with fellow-HOTties. As of now we are doing standard
 HOT preparations (locating equipment, mappers, checking up with local
 actors, continuing with checking OSM data (after the license change bot),
 etc). I have a team of local mappers who are helping out to ensure that we
 have the capacity to respond as needed.

  The government has raised the alert level to red (the highest level).

  It seems that while we may well get a major amount of water and possibly
 hurricane class winds and there's a possibility for heavy damage (rain of
 possibly 20-30 cm) it's also quite possible that the wind speeds may not
 pick up to total destruction levels.
 The humanitarian threat is real nevertheless to major with some 400,000
 people still in camps and a possible trajectory of the center of the storm
 that might cross right over this area..

  Any other people in Haiti or working with / doing things related to the
 storm on these lists?
