Hi all, Two weeks ago we had discutions about diversity in OSM with Pierre Choffet from Montreal. Yes, this subject feeds lots of discutions within the french community, on talk-fr for instance.
Pierre, est-ce que l'on met sur la table l'élaboration d'un bref document en français? On pourrait aussi en discuter lors de la prochaine rencontre OSM-MTL :-) Bruno Le 2014-10-08 12:08, "Richard Weait" <rich...@weait.com> a écrit : > Hi all, > > There have been recent discussions on several OpenStreetMap lists[1] > about community diversity, in one form or another.
