Other information

Membership in or affiliations with other organisations
(for example with the Wikimedia Foundation)
There is contact and fellowship with members of this organisation but nothing formal.

Event attendance
All official events are open to all and membership entitles individuals to vote at company EGMs and AGMs. Membership is not required to attend any of the events we run (but does help cover off costs that are likely to occur over time).

Meetups
Over the past 12 months, a number of meetups have been organised and run across the island of Ireland. These have been promoted publicly on social media channels, the talk-ie mailing list, the OSM event calendar and through other organisations that we've engaged / partnered with). Typical attendance size is 10-20 people.

Northern Ireland
With respect to Northern Ireland, we consciously focused on being as inclusive as possible while recognising that identity is complex issue for people in Northern Ireland. Our policies approach this in a flexible and inclusive manner with a view of cooperating with and supporting OSM users across the whole island. It's worth noting that OSM contributors in Northern Ireland have been active in the Irish community long before the creation of the formal chapter and we value their contributions to the community now and into the future.
