StateoftheMap Organizing Committee/Minutes/2018/2018-06-11 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 the Mumble server of HOT project. 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.

Recording the Apple talk (#124)

The talk about Apple will not be recorded due to a request by the speaker (lacks permission by the company). Paul Norman wrote an email to the working asking for reasons why the talk was accepted.

  • We took in a lot of consideration about the popularity (community & team)
  • It was discussed in depth the unfortune of not being possible to record, with views from those holding back from accepting it on those grounds.
  • It was considered to put it in an unrecorded track, but we expected to need a larger room.
  • Sharing of content by delegates is not forbidden, there will just not be any "official" recording.
  • There has not been an OSMF board discussion on this, the programme is deemed to be within the remit of the SotM-WG.
  • Christine to answer Paul's email.

How many local chapters want a table at SotM?

  • Knowledge from UK, France, Belgium, Germany groups is that they don't need a table to themselves. So maybe 1 or 2 tables to share amongst local chapters.

SotM 2019

  • to be talked about in 2 weeks time.
  • aim to announce at SotM
