Re: [Talk-GB] OSM AGM and notification
Hi Tony Welcome to OSM. We're working hard on getting the details of the AGM out more widely and stuff will appear in due course and in good time(!) Currently we've just done what's needed legally in terms of notice, content and venue. If you're not already signed up as member to the local UK chapter, you'll need to do so by April 18th if you want to cast a vote on anything at the AGM.(details on how to join on the OSMUK website). That's the only thing you won't be able to do at the AGM - vote - if you're not a member. Look forward to meeting you in Manchester Brian On 14 April 2018 at 13:51, Tony Shield wrote: > Hi All > > Starting to get into OSM mapping and things OSM - so I've found this > talk-gb mail system, I've just found the website OSM UK and seen the > weeklyOSM 403 global newsletter. > > I can't see the AGM details on the OSM UK website, nor details on the AGM > in the list of events carried in the weeklyOSM letter.

Re: [Talk-GB] OSM AGM and notification
Hi Tony, Firstly, welcome to OSM. I'm an active mapper based in Preston and tend to concentrate on mapping in the Preston and South Ribble areas (I don't really get down as far as Chorley very often) . I'm more than happy to help in any way I can. Feel free to drop me an email if there's anything you'd like to discuss. Maybe if we get a couple more local mappers we can sort out our own regular local meets :) By the way, I do try and keep an eye on local edits by new contributors so I did have a brief look over some of your first edits at the time. Rest assured that all seemed fine. Keep up the good work!

Re: [Talk-GB] OSM AGM and notification
(just to add a bit to what Jerry said...) Hi Tony, First of all, welcome! You've probably already found the "Contact channels" page on the wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact_channels . OSM globally uses lots of different mailing lists, forums, social network sites etc. It can be a bit confusing, but Bryan Housel (the tireless main developer of the iD editor) is planning to tie some of these loose ends together a bit better, and the summary I gave for his benefit at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2018-April/080447.html for GB might also be useful. Slightly further afield than Manchester, there are regular meetups in the East and West Midlands, which might be doable from Chorley (I'm in the East Midlands and have worked occasionally just west of Chorley, though I've never tried a late-night train journey...). With regard to the Manchester OSM UK meeting, I'm sure when the OSM UK folks are ready with an official annoucement at https://osmuk.org/ it'll get featured in the regular "weekly" - country-level meetups often do. Anyone can submit news for that by the way - have a look at http://www.weeklyosm.eu/this-news-should-be-in-weeklyosm for details.

Re: [Talk-GB] OSM AGM and notification
Hi Tony, The weekly OSM newsletter is global so I'm not sure that it would make a specific feature of an AGM in a single country. The list of events is derived from the one on the main page on the wiki, so if someone adds it there (hint to members of the OSM-UK board) then it should show up.

[Talk-GB] OSM AGM and notification
Hi All Starting to get into OSM mapping and things OSM - so I've found this talk-gb mail system, I've just found the website OSM UK and seen the weeklyOSM 403 global newsletter. I can't see the AGM details on the OSM UK website, nor details on the AGM in the list of events carried in the weeklyOSM letter. Should the AGM be added to these places? I hope to attend the AGM - Manchester is close to me as I live in Lancashire - so I hope to be able to meet you guys and check what I am doing is correct. To help identification will people be wearing name cards with their OSM handle, name and location e.g. . . .
