Echoing Jerry's  previous plea - please comment on the Google docs AoA-
there has been a fresh definition of OpenStreetMap there for several days

Re: [Talk-GB] [UK Chapter] Definition of OSM.

Frederik is correct in saying that OpenStreetMap Project does not
appear in the OSMF Articles of Association.

However, on the OSMF website, the following words are used: "The
Foundation supports the OpenStreetMap Project."

So the wider OSM "thing" is the OpenStreetMap Project rather than the
OpenStreetMap Community. I quite like that differentiation, even
though I cannot find the definition of what the project is!

"supports" is also a quite different meaning than "managed by"

If we wanted to have a definition that includes the OSMF: "The
OpenStreetMap Project as currently supported by the OpenStreetMap
Foundation Ltd" perhaps?

[Talk-GB] UK chapter

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

Anyone wishing to be listed as a founder member on the incorporation
documents to be registered at Companies House please send your full name
and address to "osmuk at nomoregrapes.com" . In case anyone wonders whose
address this is: it's Gregory Marler's

I guess legally that entitles you to attend the first meeting (probably
online) where various setting-up things have to be done - like electing
officers, confirming the directors, opening a bank account and setting the
membership subscriptions.

Regards

Re: [Talk-GB] UK Chapter: Who will be the "we"?

[Brian Prangle]

Dave

At its narrowest - the members who pay the subscription
At its widest - anyone who produces or uses OSM data in the UK

Hi Dave,

I think that the "we" would be the members of the organization.
