Hi Folks, I'm going to repeat Mikel and gently encourage us to close out the conversation on Firefox and browsers in general. These certainly aren't invalid points, but I think your points have been made and heard. For my own part, I've really enjoyed using iD-- it's been much more accessible

Re: [Talk-us] meta question

Hi Alyssa, You might want to think about distributing a survey to the list. The results would be self-selecting, of course, but it could provide you with more robust demographic data than is collected by the talk list system. I'll be interested to hear about your research at SOTM! On May 11,

Re: [Talk-us] SOTM-US list for room shares

Hey folks-- just a reminder to add your names to the room share list in the wiki if you're looking for one. Room reservations need to be made pretty much immediately because of WWDC coming into town right on our heels. Also, the special SOTM-US rate is only in effect until *this Friday,* after

Re: [OSM-talk] RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark)

Paul, that sounds like a fair point, if I'm understanding correctly. Alex, would it be fair to say that this is more of a recommended alternative, for all the reasons we've stated? Richard, can you explain a little more of why you think that the idea is bad for OSM? The trade off that I am seeing

Re: [OSM-talk] RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark)

I agree wholeheartedly with Mike's points about the current branding around the project. However, as there has been generally positive feedback for the design of this attribution mark, would it make sense to move forward with using the attribution mark (since it addresses an immediate problem) and

Re: [OSM-talk] RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark)

Agreed. I think that either With OSM or Powered By OSM would explain the relationship a bit better than By OSM which suggests explicit authorship of whatever is displaying the watermark. That might not always be the case. On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 10:57 AM, Michal Migurski m...@teczno.com wrote:

Re: [Talk-us] OSMers in NYC?

Hi Derick! I'm so glad you reached out! I actually did the same thing recently when I was in Europe-- I met up with mappers in Paris, Amsterdam, and Belgium. I'd suggest you reach out to this OSM NYC meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/osm-nyc/ Many of them are on this list however, so they

Re: [Talk-us] Turn restriction dispute

Out of curiosity, is asking someone to leave the project something that we have done before? I'm wondering what kind of precedents we've set for ourself. I am only vaguely familiar with the circumstances around this user being removed from the list, so I'm curious about the decision to ban someone

Excellent point-- what I had in mind was something along the lines of what the Boston Python Workshop http://bostonpythonworkshop.com/about/ has done-- they provide intro to Python workshops that encourage diversity within the local python communities. They have had a lot of success packaging

[Talk-us] Reaching out to Local User Groups

Calling all OSM Local User Group organizers-- Over the last several weeks I have reached out to many of you, but I am certain that I missed a few. I am working on wrapping my initial findings on the local OSM communities in the US, but I want to ensure that you're all represented. If we have NOT
