First, I think the current board is doing a great job. I think you should reelect them.
I became aware of OSM at MUM/osg'05. Last year I started to contribute by helping with the Atlanta mapping parties and getting staff from local govts to show up. That included my own staff from Fulton County. Since then I have been slowly working to improve tools to help integrate govt data and assist govt users get an understanding of how and why to contribute. I have been able to directly assist in obtaining govt data for others to work with and import. I have in my role as a member of the GIS community worked to improve understanding and acceptance of OSM. If elected / if not elected, either way I will contribute to OSM by spreading the message, improving tools, coordinating with the GIS community and govt sectors, and assist in encouraging projects to improve the whole. -- Carl Anderson _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
