There is no change of heart. Anything contributed to OSM automatically gets fed into fosm.org so both projects benefit. While I don't personally contribute to OSM any more, I don't have a problem with you or anyone else contributing to OSM. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in a mapping party. At the last Surrey meetup there were both OSMers and fosmers, we all get along well and so I'm not expecting there to be any issues. There are very few people with the entrenched mindset that there should only be one map and that all other mapping projects are inherently hostile competitors. It's not like that at all. Actually, I'm expecting that there will be attendees with several different agendas. Large parts of Surrey are not ODbL so at one end of the scale I'd expect some people to want to remap existing CC-BY-SA content. There are also some people who want to create a CC0 map. There's been talk of creating a clean unencumbered dataset for this area that can then be fed into OSM or used for any other purpose. That might play out as well at this mapping party. None of these things get in the way of getting out into the beautiful Surrey Hills doing what we all like doing the most. > Sure, it could be fun...

It's a great area for walking and cycling, and a fine place to spend a day out. 80n
