I see your point and it's great that so much work has gone into pre-thinking the incorporation and such like... but I'm with Steve on this one: it would be good to actually get something tangible happening. Whether that's a slippy map or a lobbying group or PR or a crowdfunded satellite or a statue of Steve Coast/Andy Robinson/Steve Chilton in Trafalgar Square is not really the issue. There's a lot of enthusiasm for OSM in the UK - let's capitalise on it sooner rather than later. > The intention is that we can discuss ideas of what to do at that > meeting.

Traditionally OSM works by empowering those with great ideas to act on those great ideas, rather than by holding a long series of meetings to pre-plan everything. Otherwise you end up with "50 people voted that we should do <n>!". "Great, which of them is actually doing it?" "Er..." But you know all this. :) And well done for getting the paperwork sorted. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/OSM-UK-site-tp5888415p5888532.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
