Hi guys,

Jochen Toph (of Germany) updated the wiki page on Local Chapters:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters

It contains more info especially on the meeting that took place at
SOTM 2009. So it seems that the draft agreement between OSMF and local
chapters is *far* from the actual agreement that may be done.

Re: [talk-ph] Draft MoA between the OSM-F and any possible localchapter

2009-08-08 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Hi Mike,

Thanks for bringing the OSMF perspective here.

I'm not experienced in these things, but I don't think membership fees would
be feasible as the main source of funding of OSMF in the long run with
respect to the technical operating costs (legal, administrative, etc. costs
are fine). As I recall, OSM had a server donation drive early this year and
I think the total donation (£16,222) *far* exceeded the total annual
membership fees that can be collected (160 members x £15 = £2400).

I see that fundraising is one of the thrusts of OSMF in the near to mid
future but I don't think increasing the collected membership fees via
federated local chapters is a healthy way to go about it. This might result
in local groups doing OSMF-y things in their countries their own way
(Germany springs to mind).

But if some form of payment is needed for purposes of local chapters, I can
think of two options:

1. Adjust the £10 per member fee to reflect purchasing power parity (PPP).
If my calculations are correct, this comes out to £4.38 for the Philippines
which is a more feasible P350.

2. Have a per chapter bulk fee (again adjusted for PPP).


A drastic alternative would be to model the OSMF local chapter system to
that of Wikimedia Foundation's. As far as I know, the Wikimedia local
chapters have no financial obligations to WMF, though they can help in their
own ways (like Wikimedia Deutschland donating toolservers for the Wikimedia
projects to use).


Regards,
Eugene

 In a European and North American context, that is not an unreasonable

 club with no great costs and the annual membership is GBP 18.

 However, elsewhere, I concur with Eugene that it will be too much.  It will
 be a deterrent to recruiting members and be a large an inclusive
 organisation.  I am sure it is no coincidence that the Philippines has an
 active and increasingly large community but no OSMF members at all.

 I suspect the solution is for you to simply negotiate a lower rate, but any
 other ideas are welcome.

 What would be a big win for all of us is to be collectively much bigger
 than we are now but still have a income to grow with. Nick has suggested
 13,000, i.e. around 10% of folks who register an OSM account.  That would
 certainly make us much more representative than our membership today of 160!

[talk-ph] Draft MoA between the OSM-F and any possible localchapter

2009-08-06 Thread Andre Marcelo-Tanner
What would be the point of paying? It says a local chapter can use the 
logo and osm domain and promote osm. Isnt counter-productive to charge 
an organization which wants to help improve OSM locally by its own 
resources/costs? A per member fee is rather high, maybe a low chapter 
fee would be ok, but what do they need the fees for anyway? Its just 
like a way of saying this one is officially recognized. Also for paying 
that fee what does the local chapter get in return? Do we get like gps 
units, documents, paraphernalia? Stuff that helps us? Anyway I know its 
all still under discussion but I think it wouldnt be worth paying unless 
there is just reason and the members here agree to it.

Maning declined for president, how bout for secretary/treasurer. Essentially 
theyre the signing person, sign this doc etc, this form, secretary certificate, 
treasurers cert etc etc.
Who would like to be President? president should probably be someone who has 
the orgs best interests at heart, is active in the community and wants to 
lead/direct OSM Philippines on to greater things. I know a few here who would 
fit that profile, nominations anyone?
BTW you can be an incorporator if you are not a Filipino citizen, you just cant 
have more than 40% shares, which doesnt matter since this is a nonstock.

 My own personal opinion, BTW, is that having a formal organisation rather
 then just meeting for great mapping parties :-)  is not of great value to
 individual mappers, BUT is very useful when asking organisations to donate
 data and moderately so for generating publicity statements for tv and
 newspapers ...
I respectfully disagree Mike.  If mappers don't see any value in such
an org, then why should we bother?  Data donations, publicity is
important to expand OSM-PH.  However, I believe the core of this
project is the community (mappers), supporting (not competing) with
local efforts of mappers should be the prime goal.  Perhaps a
misunderstood your statement.


 so I kinda hope you do!
I hope so too.  This has been our goal since we met in Manila years ago.

2009-07-19 Thread Andre Marcelo-Tanner
Was wondering when you guys wanted to do this, most people are 
favorable, not everyone answered even after multiple queries so the best 
I can say is that those who post most here are for it. As for the OSM-F 
doc, its just a doc, we dont need to have something like that, it would 
be something to sign between the org and osm-f if osm-f requires it for 
them to recognize us as an official member.

If we want to move forward with this, we need 5 signatories as is 
required to setup a corporation. What this requires is a Cedula and TIN 
and that you sign the corporate documents. Also we need board members, 
specifically a treasurer who signs the bank titf and a corporate 
secretary who signs all the other stuff. Treasurer and Secretary can be 
one person but may not be the president I believe. So far we'll sign as 
1 incorporator, please put your name in the list if you wish to be an

I'm willing to be an incorporator. And since the minimum capital for a
non-profit is 5k pesos (I think), I'm willing to donate 1k pesos. However,
the minimum required to open a bank account is 20-25k (depending on the
bank) so I'm hoping somebody else can help foot that. :-)

Suggestion: I think it would be best that the incorporators all be in or
near Metro Manila so that the signing of papers would be easy. But the board
or directors/trustees and the set of officers can be anyone. The
incorporators only function during the incorporation and dissolution stages,
so I don't think the incorporators need to be diverse and representative of
the community.

Any other thoughts?

Re: [talk-ph] Draft MoA between the OSM-F and any possible localchapter

2009-07-18 Thread maning sambale
If I remember it right, Enthropia commited to help us in setting-up a
local chapter.  I believe Andre even posted a short survey to list
members of what are their views on formalizing OSM-PH.

Most people who answered are in favor of the formalization.  Totor has
some reservations for a possible admin/management overhead of a formal
org.

We want it done but somebody has to do it. :)

@ Andre, can you give us some update on Enthropia's previous offer?
Sayang yung opportunity.

Hi guys,

I came across this draft agreement between a local organization wanting to
officially represent the OSM-F in a local jurisdiction and the OSM-F:

What do you guys think?
