That's not what's currently on the wiki, they explicitly state being a member of a local chapter doesn't make you a member of OSMF and vice versa. Also no mention the the chapter itself being a member of OSMF. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters Automatic membership might have been suggested at some point by someone but it doesn't look like it has been continued for various legal/liability reasons etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
