(10:20:12 AM) rweait: chrisfl do you have anything to report on the mission document?
(10:20:47 AM) chrisfl: A little, I've meesed up a bit and forgot that the meeting was today :(
(10:20:55 AM) rweait: me too.
(10:21:19 AM) chrisfl: and was going to work on it this evening.... But I have a few lines.....
(10:21:31 AM) rweait: chrisfl, let's carry that over for next week then.
(10:21:39 AM) rweait: How about some mission discussion?
(10:21:54 AM) chrisfl: So what I have so far is:
(10:21:58 AM) chrisfl: OSM Strategy
(10:22:04 AM) chrisfl: "OpenStreetMap Foundation is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free geospatial data and to providing geospatial data for anybody to use and share." [1]
(10:22:04 AM) rweait: Excellent!
(10:22:08 AM) chrisfl: Therefore overall stategy needs to be geared towards meeting this objective.
(10:22:12 AM) chrisfl: Overall stategy needs to embrace this and will meet the needs and expectations of the community.
(10:22:16 AM) chrisfl: Having an overall stategy will guide decisions when requests for resources etc. come up.
(10:22:20 AM) chrisfl: This document is just a starting point for these discussions.
(10:22:24 AM) chrisfl: OSM can work to achieve this by:
(10:22:28 AM) chrisfl: 1. Supporting Existing Mappers
(10:22:30 AM) chrisfl: This is a no brainer.
(10:22:38 AM) chrisfl: 2. Encouraging and Recruiting new Mappers.
(10:22:46 AM) chrisfl: 3. Supporting organisations that provide or use mapping data.
(10:22:48 AM) chrisfl: Much more controversial as these very much less likely to have a direct
(10:23:18 AM) rweait: Thoughts?
(10:23:40 AM) RichardF [~RichardF@pod-71.dolphin-server.co.uk] entered the room.
(10:23:48 AM) samlarsen1: 1 & 2 definately - 3, maybe needs some thought
(10:24:00 AM) rweait: Welcome RichardF
(10:24:28 AM) RichardF: hellooooo
(10:24:43 AM) samlarsen1: "provide or use" seems like everyone involved in geography
(10:25:18 AM) filbertkm: Agree, 3 doesn't seem quite right
(10:25:43 AM) chrisfl: RichardF: We're discussing my outline strategy (not very completed as I got the date of today's meeting wrong), you can see on http://pastebin.com/rYJNBAdw
(10:25:51 AM) samlarsen1: do you mean : "Supporting organisations that provide or use OSM mapping data"
(10:26:02 AM) filbertkm: Mapping data or free/open source data
(10:26:14 AM) filbertkm: Or mappin data provided to osm
(10:26:19 AM) Firefishy [~openstree@proxy.wwood.co.uk] entered the room.
(10:26:35 AM) samlarsen1: hi Firefishy: : We're discussing my outline strategy (not very completed as I got the date of today's meeting wrong), you can see on http://pastebin.com/rYJNBAdw
(10:26:38 AM) chrisfl: sam think I was thinking OSM data,
(10:26:54 AM) rweait: DO we want to distinguish what OSMF supports from what OSM contributors support?
(10:27:23 AM) rweait: Ideally we want to focus on the SWG mission which would be a sub-set of the OSMF mission, no?
(10:29:05 AM) rweait: does this give you enough to work with chrisfl?
(10:29:40 AM) samlarsen1: rweait: "sub-set of the OSMF mission" - agree
(10:29:46 AM) chrisfl: Think so, I'll try and go through our previous minutes as well and include those discussions...
(10:30:05 AM) rweait: okay any other business for SWG to consider this week?
(10:30:47 AM) rweait: I move that we adjourn.
(10:30:50 AM) filbertkm: What's the timeline for SWG?
(10:31:02 AM) rweait: secondarily I move that we each have coffee before the meeting next week.
(10:31:11 AM) samlarsen1: don't think we have a timeline yet
(10:31:14 AM) samlarsen1: ?
(10:31:32 AM) chrisfl: Sorry about not having more written up
(10:31:43 AM) filbertkm: Hmm...
(10:31:44 AM) samlarsen1: rweait: seconded
(10:31:49 AM) rweait: chrisfl, no problem!
(10:32:02 AM) rweait: objections to adjourning?
(10:32:23 AM) filbertkm: No objections
(10:32:29 AM) samlarsen1: No objections
(10:32:35 AM) rweait: *** end logging ***
