I know that's not your actual point, but as I'm one of the candidates for the board and as I've indeed never worked for a working group in the OSMF I have to ask on that. Do you suggest that this should be mandatory? As I see the OSMF as a representation of the OSM community I think it should not make a difference if one supports OSM via the Foundation or by doing stuff like plain mapping, helping on forum, ML, help or contribute code. Imho all is important and valuable work. > I just think that the discussion regarding the OSMF, and paid staff > especially, ignores the fact that a great deal of work is done today > by people who are happy to do it (as I am) [...] Indeed. And imho it's a counterpoint to having paid staff in the OSMF. Peda _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
