You're right on that Andy, as it was I that asked you to join the FG, I
very much liked the contact with other FG members, the creation of the
SWOT, the interview and the SOTM workshop on dreams for 2020:

There were enough people involved in the FG. Main challenge was keeping the
fire burning. So it's good to see new enthousiasm coming in. I can't recall
if I invited you on the Hangout at March 2nd this year. If not: excuses for
that. I'm however sure I included you in the invitation mail which I send a
few weeks before that Hangout, see below. Result of that meeting (no notes
available) was that the participants wanted to go on (I also said yes
although I was a bit reluctant) and that Dermot would take care of some
procedures to turn FG into the FWG. Since then -till now- it has become
very silent.
Invitation mail of February 2014 below:
Hi everyone
on Sunday 2 March 2014 21:00 Amsterdam time (20:00 London, 12:00 Seattle)
I'll invite you to a Hangout on the future of the future group.
There has been inactivity lately within the Future Group. Therefore I see
the following options for the Future Group:
1. quit because of the inactivity
2. go on as as FG or as a FWG, but only with the people who show interest
in proceeding
If we go on, maybe we should be focussing more on practical issues such as
our major weaknesses. Like the one I've been involved in for the last four
months: address and building imports.
One other practical thing I'm thinking about, if we go on, is increasing
cooperation between OSM and professional parties like Telenav.
A third practical one is thinking about the way (smartphone?) editors could
become friendly enough to newcomers, especially when the data density in
OSM rises (for example beacuse of imports or because of micromapping).
See you on the 2nd of March!
Cheers, Johan

After SotM in Birmingham, I was invited to join the OSM Future Group:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future(page includes a list
of members, and a timetable.) and agreed to do so (Indeed, I paid a
subscription solely in order to be eligible to do so). That group has
not met nor communicated since then. Should we presume the group is
defunct, and mark the age accordingly? -- Andy Mabbett
