--------------------- Hi, I am contacting you in regards to OpenStreetMap in the Philippines. In case you don't know me yet, my name is Andre Marcelo-Tanner, I am from Enthropia Inc., a company in the Philippines which is helping OSM Philippines grow. Since we found that you are an active contributor to OSM in the Philippines, we wanted to get your opinion as part of the community on a very important issue: "The formation of a formal legal entity to represent OpenStreetMap in the Philippines" There is some starting discussion on the mailing list already at http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2009-May/000877.html http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2009-May/000879.html http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2009-May/000883.html We would greatly appreciate comments, even a simple yes or no from each member of the community as we know this is a community project and thus the community should always have a say in everything. Please send your replies to talk-ph@openstreetmap.org so that the discussion will be public and everyone can join in. Thank you very much for your time, Andre Marcelo-Tanner Enthropia Inc. _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
