Hi,
in the coming years, the OSMF will re-work their articles of
association which are currently very old fashioned and geared more
towards a British manufacturing firm than towards an international mass
membership nonprofit (FSVO "mass").
This is going to be a long-ish process in which all of you will have a
chance to participate. (If this sounds like the process was laid out
already - rest assured not even that is the case. I just know it is
going to be long, and it would be stupid not to allow everyone to
participiate.)
But there's one thing that I would like to get a quick straw poll on,
from as many OSMers as possible: Would you like or dislike the OSMF to
accept corporate members?
Corporate membership is a complex topic; there are myriad models of how
it could be handled and this is certainly a discussion we are going to
have in the future.
But for now, without further ado, would you be willing to record your
opinion in this little poll I've made?
http://polls.cc/cyzooQ/
The question is: "Should companies be accepted as members of the
OpenStreetMap Foundation?" and the four options are
* No, only real people should be members.
* Yes, just like real people.
* Yes, as "supporting members" without voting rights.
* The poll needs to be more fine-grained than this.
Bye
Frederik
