Making the "Etiquette/Process_for_Moderation" OSM wiki page less confusing
| Background |
|---|
| The Etiquette/Process_for_Moderation page on the OSM wiki does not mention community.osm.org, which we now use instead of forums.osm.org.
Suggestion to move the current introduction to the "History" subsection and add "This rules are now applicable also to official OSM forum, known also as community forum" with https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Moderation_team_for_talk_and_osmf-talk_mailing_lists#The_%22general%22,_%22general:tagging%22,_and_%22foundation%22_channels_on_community.openstreetmap.org as a reference. |

State of the Map EU 2023 update
| Background |
|---|
OSM Belgium is organising the State of the Map EU 2023 conference. They had initially arranged financial support in order to cover the deposit with the State of the Map (SotM EU conference venue, due by July 31. However, that support is no longer possible so they contacted the OSMF board for a loan of 15K EUR for the venue deposit. OSM Belgium is currently also transitioning its institutional home from Open Knowledge Belgium to OSGeo Belgium, which adds to their challenges. Such loans are not intended as a regular service, and an agreement was drafted to handle this loan.
The OSMF board has submitted two proposals for sessions during the conference. Open Knowledge Belgium is an OSMF Local Chapter (LC). The Local Chapter application and supporting documents are here. |
