Although lots of people have managed to do lots of constructive work the past few months have been the most argumentative since the Australian clique were at their worst as a cascade of long-running dissatisfactions have come to the boil like dominoes. It’s time for everyone (including myself) to take a deep breath, but we can’t just let frustrations build up again and we really need to work on a stronger culture of harmony (we can have strong and differing opinions of course) and not just a surface appearance; lurkers on our communication channels aren’t the real audience. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
