StateoftheMap Organizing Committee/Minutes/2018/2018-05-14 Meeting

From OpenStreetMap Foundation

Most discussions of the SotM Working Group happen on GitHub issues (private repository) . The meetings are usually not minuted because team members usually only report about there current progress. Important summaries are written down as issue comments. The meetings take place every second Monday on Google Hangouts. These minutes are no formal minutes but serve to inform the membership about the activity of the working group. There is no guarantee that all meetings are minuted. See also our entries on blog.openstreetmap.org.

GitHub issue numbers are given in braces.

Call for venues 2019 (100)

  • Christine reviewed all carefully and has prepared a spreadsheet for comparison based on the questions asked in the bid template.
  • There are some issues. For example, some bids don't have a venue yet, some venues are very expensive. One bit doesn't mention OpenStreetMap at all. The teams are often too small to let us be sure that the event will be a success.
  • There is sufficient information in most of the bids, no further questions or clarifications are needed at this stage for the selection. However, we will give feedback to unsuccessful applicants in order to help prepare future bids.
  • Decision is deferred to a later call and we wait for a response by Rob.

Switching to Mumble (72)

  • Next meeting will be hold on the HOT Mumble server instead on Google Hangouts.
  • Question which channel to use there? Any free. If it works, we will ask for our own channel.
  • Christine sends email to all to remember of the change.

Blog post about academic track

  • Marco wrote an update about the success of the academic track. We will publish it not now because the blog post about the programme is more important.
