Re: [Talk-GB] OSM UK group - Sign up to mail lists

2015-12-21 Thread Rob Nickerson 
Hi Tim,

Mailing list in the sense of talk-gb is not right here. I simply meant I
need an updated list of email addresses of people who still want to be
involved.

Currently I am using the emails provided in the survey from several months
ago (68 out of 101 respondents), tweeting and using OSM diary entries to
try to reach everyone. This is time consuming/spammy so I asked for an
updated list.

We want to get an initial working group set up and starting to share ideas.
I'm not sure where the best place to do this is. We could swamp talk-gb
with all the emails or I create a list (like t...@stateofthemap.org) and we
discuss on email amongst the interested parties. Alternatively we use a
site like loomio/slack/hipchat/github to set up a discussion space. As I
only have experience with managing small groups (<10) I welcome people's
thoughts on this.

It was barely discussed during the conference call, hence very little info
in the minutes.

Best,
*Rob*

Hi Rob,

I've read over the minutes. Things look good.

The minutes do not state that people agreed to set up non OSM mailing lists
as a replacement to the current system. I couldn’t find any discussion
about emails or mailing lists. All I could find was one action point:

"Rob: We should get e-mails. I’ll put a form on the talk-GB list."

Could you tell us who didn't attend the meeting and may be missing out on
some background, what is this form for?

For example, what were the attendees views on this mailing list talk-gb?
Why should people sign up on this new form, what benefits to signing, what
potential losses to not signing up etc. Is this new list private, non
public, or public and open to all? Is the intention to have it as members
only (similar to HOT-membership) or not?

Sorry if it may seem like you would be repeating yourselves from previous
discussions, but I feel it could be useful to get all potential interested
members on board :-)

Best regards,

Tim

Re: [Talk-GB] New Year Midlands OpenStreetMap Mapping Meet: date fixed 30th Dec

2015-12-21 Thread SK53 
Further to this destination is Abbots Bromley, final details,( choice end
up being more down to pub food than other considerations):


   - Meet at Buttercross Abbots
   Bromley, 10:30. This is close to the Goats Head.

Split into groups in the morning, one to map paths in the village & to the
SW towards the reservoir.
Others may need to drive a little way out to maximise path mapping effort

   - Lunch at Coach & Horses ,
   Abbots Bromley aiming for 12:30 for 12:45


   - Afternoon walks 14:15 ish (again perhaps starting at another location
   reached by car).

Pre-meetup armchair mapping of hedgerows, buildings etc can commence!

Park either close to Buttercross or in Coach & Horses car park.
