Minutes of previous meetings

The minutes of 20 Dec 2024 have been approved.

Actual business

Refactoring of OSM website notes

No public updates, we'd like closure on this bit of work. Roland has confirmed that Gregory's first invoice has been fully paid.

EWG help with recruitment for copyright page update

Emerson volunteers to continue work on this toghether with Robert.

Emerson will coordinate with Robert the work to finalize the bid for the next meeting. Previous bid as a reference.

2025 Budget

The board has approved the EWG's budget request.

Sovereign Tech Fund (STF)

The OpenStreetMap Foundation is now actively recruiting for the facilitator position.

The Engineering Working Group members are still encouraged to prepare supporting job interviews once the application process arrives at this point.

Microgrants

Postponed because Mikel is absent today.

GDPR

Andrew has reached out to planetdump-ng developers. On that project's side the distinction between meta data and no meta data can already be done with switches. It is still a different thing to have a deployment where consumers of both types of minute diffs have documention what to do exactly.

Context:

Next steps:

  • Improve the draft on the GitHub repo
  • Look also through the code whether there are obviously loose ends

Andrew and Roland volunteer to sort out with Andrew what to do next.

Vector Tiles

Paul is looking at optimizing performance. This is the result of monitoring actual usage.

iD Development

Skipped

Any other business

Using Hackmd as a one-to-one replacement requires some operational changes.
