Hi All,
I am sure most of you will be aware of the 'Call to Take Action' being
circulated in the OSM community. Several members have asked OSGeo Oceania to
endorse the call to action. See links in email below.
We have our first board meeting (as in with the new Board) this afternoon and I
have put it as an agenda item. I am personally hesitant for the Board to make a
decision on endorsing the call to action with out some barometer of support
from members and/or community for such a action (or no action).
Can I ask our members and community at large to put some thought into the
appropriate action that OSGeo Oceania should undertake. For example do we agree
to simply endorse the Call to action, or do we issue a statement. Or do we not
support the Call to Action? I realize this is short notice but that is out of
our control :-(
Some of the community (including myself) have made some comments on the working
document (link below this email)
The meeting starts at 2pm. If anybody wanted to speak to the Board on this
matter we can make some time available via a Zoom invitation.
Thanks
Greg

Subject: [Osmf-talk] Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive
Behavior in the OSM Community
To: osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org, t...@openstreetmap.org
Hello everybody
I hope you are all well
We, several groups, chapters, organizations and individuals, have reacted to
the conversation in the osm-talk-list
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html
[https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2020-December/085692.html])
considering that it is an incident symptomatic of the problem we have faced for
many years in the community, which is one of the greatest obstacles to
diversity at all levels of OSM. Time to make a real change.
That is why we have developed a beginning of statement on the desirable
mechanisms to work solidly on the rules of coexistence and improve diversity.
We bring it to your attention and invite anyone who feels represented to sign
it. Translations are in preparation (any help is welcome):
