now that it appears that the situation is settling down, it's time to bring this up.
over on Slack, Noel, a new OHMer who isn't on this list suggested we look to affiliate with the Linux Foundation. at about the same time, Maggie Cawley, ED of OSM US, contacted me to mention that the US chapter is in the process of setting up an affiliation structure for projects, and suggesting we look at what they're doing once the details are fleshed out. currently they're getting the details ironed out with the TeachOSM project. any affiliation is going to involve tradeoffs. but there may be some significant advantages to such a relationship. i plan to review the Linux Foundation requirements just to get an idea of what such a framework might look like. others may want to do the same, so we can talk about it in an organized, informed manner. i will immediately share the OSM US details here when Maggie provides me with them. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Historic mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
