Re: [OSM-talk] Fw: Fun: Collect your favourite mappers
Where I am, winter is moving in. Last night I cycled to a friend's house(he recently moved further away!) after work and just got some house numbers mapped before it got too dark. My right hand was near frozen because I still can't find both my cycling gloves. It would have been nicer for me to spend the 30 dark minutes playing cards with him and showing him how fun OSM is.

Good one! I love hearing everyone's you should do OSM like I do dictums. Always entertaining. Oh, be sure to tell us how to quantify and measure good for OSM, so we'll know what's better. Be sure to explain your metrics, including how to quantify the obligatory build the community mantra (unless, of course, your criteria doesn't include that; I won't presume to know). I wonder how one could measure the amount of fun injected into and sucked out of a project. There's gotta be some social science math in there somewhere. Very interesting... There seems to be a hell of a lot of ancillary stuff going on around OSM. There sure is. Isn't it awesome? It's like people are actually having fun with OSM. Maybe a 'Back to Basics' push might not go amiss. Actually, that is a really good idea. Let us know what you come up with. I'm curious about your plans on how you're going to engage more people to get involved to make OSM better.

I had hoped to have the current board members cards as a special premiere version. In an abundance of caution, I've asked them each to approve that use of their images. Yes, the images are ccbysa, on the osm site, but one does not sell baseball cards of friends with explicit permission. :-) Also, personality rights vary globally and I want to be clear that I have permission for that use. Not all board members have approved this use of their images; so no board collect set, yet. Here's Mikel. :-) Let me know if I can print it. http://rweait.dev.openstreetmap.org/card/mikelmaron.html I'd be super happy to redo it with a higher resolution image. I take the images from the OSM API, so if you upload an image that is 600x600, the system will be able to downsize it properly, and your card will look nicer. I've also had requests for specialty sets. Developers of OSM, Personalities of OSM, OSM contributors for each continent, Mailing list mouthpieces of OSM ( Hi! :-) ), etc. Collect your favourites.
