I really don't like the attitude expressed by several people here in response to this subject and which is already contained in the subject itself "OSMF/DWG governance".
Governance. There's no governance. DWG is a group and everybody is free to join it. The job is voluntary and unpaid. Being "just" a mapper I'm more than happy that there are skilled people who help OSMF and the administrators to keep the system running which I gladly can use for free. And if they would contact me and tell me that I'm doing something which is not good for the system or might even cause problems I would say thank you and be happy to follow their advice. I can map but I'm no OSM system expert and I'm very interested that the system keeps running as good as it does. If I travel in a foreign country problems arising from not speaking the local language are for sure not to blame to the local people. And if I join an international community problems arising from being unable to communicate in the language of the community are for sure not to blame to the community. In both cases it's my decision and therefore my problem. DWG and administrators, thank you very much for doing this voluntary and unpaid job. Keep on going and don't' get disappointed by people with inappropriate attitude for community work. They are the minority.
