Hi Edward, Sorry for the slow reply, you caught me at a busy time.
I think 2 and 3 are quite similar. Perhaps you could argue that 3 is more focused on non public sector. Maybe we get improved content on our website and some leaflets ready (if needed) and then start sharing that content. It might also include building our contacts so that we can answer more of the questions we may receive. The lobby element in 3 is possibly more focused on public sector. We've made a start over the last year by responding to the government's Geospatial Commission. Next steps would be to keep an eye out for similar consultation opportunities whilst also looking for other avenues to do direct promotion of OSM. In any case across 2 and 3 we want to consider both public and private sector - we'd like OSM to be embedded within all sectors. As for 1, we've put out a call for ideas on the loomio group. Next step is to see what contacts we have and start approaching them. I think it will be easier if we have existing relationships but if not then we should try from scratch. So in summary it's quite an open scope. Ideas and suggestions welcome and let's take it forward from there. I'd be happy to take more questions on email or arrange a quick chat / call. Let me know what works for you. Best regards, Rob On Thu, 26 Sep 2019, 09:09 Edward Bainton, <bainton....@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you, I think I could do a bit on 1, 2, and/or 3. > > 1, 3.
