 Hi U.S. Mappers,
 
 Since the election of the temporary OSM U.S. Chapter board we have
 chosen positions, which are as follows:
 
 President: Kate Chapman
 Vice President: Serge Wroclawski
 Secretary: Rich Welty
 Treasurer: Thea Clay
 Member At Large: Steven Johnson
 
 The regularly scheduled U.S. Chapter call will take place at 8pm EST
 this Thursday. You will find the call in details here:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States
 
 Since the next couple months will be primarily spent organizing the
 incorporation paper work and other logistics, we feel there is no
 longer a need to hold weekly chapter meetings. What is your (the U.S.
 Community) preference on holding future US Chapter chapter calls? And
 are there any objections to holding the calls twice a month?
 
 The US SOTM calls will continue to occur every Thursday at 8:30 PM
 EST. You can find the call in information here:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_States/US_SOTM
 
 There is now a page in the wiki for brainstorming ideas for the U.S.
 focused efforts
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_States/Ideas.
 The main goal of the U.S. Chapter isn't to incorporate it is to make a
 great map.  The idea behind brainstorming is to see if there are ideas
 people have not related to the incorporation that they'd like to start
 working on (i.e. training/outreach/media).
 
 Your newly elect OSM US Temporary Board

[Talk-us] Tonight's Chapter call

2010-03-11 Thread Serge Wroclawski 
I want to apologize to everyone for missing the last two calls. As
most of you know I've been out of the country for two weeks due to a
death in the family.

The calls were at 2am local time and I couldn't make them.

I'm back as of late yesterday afternoon. I'll try my best to be on the
call but I'm still fighting jetlag.

It's my understanding that Rich Welty is out tonight and I'm going to
do my best to step in as secretary.

I realize the timing is bad since we just got elected but, well... I
couldn't chose when my grandmother died.

  Dear Steve Coast,
 
  We understand that OpenStreetMap has been involved with the Flourish 
  Conference since last year. We'd be delighted if you could again be 
  involved in our mini exposition this year. Since your company has been 
  involved in bringing us the latest and greatest open source based products, 
  we saw OpenStreetMap a great fit for Flourish 2010's mini expo, an event 
  that will be part of Chicago's fourth annual opensource conference, hosted 
  by UIC-ACM and the Chicago LUG. This conference, as you have well seen last 
  year, will attract many enthusiasts, educators, professionals, students, 
  and entrepeneurs in the Chicago community to get inspired and engaged 
  within the larger sphere of the open source community. This is why we'd be 
  really excited to see OpenStreetMap as a part of the mini-expo again, to 
  disseminate its involvement with open source technologies.
 
  We can reserve a mini-expo table for you at Flourish 2010 at no cost to 
  represent OpenStreetMaps at the conference.
 
  Flourish is a bit earlier this year than in prior years.  Flourish 
  Conference 2010 will be held on Friday, March 19th and Saturday, March 
  20th.  As usual, the event will be held at  the University of Illinois at 
  Chicago.  In addition to the mini-expo, this year's Flourish will host 
  excellent, open source related talks and workshops and a coding sprint.  
  More information can be found on our website: http://www.flourishconf.com/.
 
  Reservations for a mini-expo table require a minimal sponsorship of $150.  
  With that, you also get your company's logo displayed on nearly every page 
  of the Flourish 2010 website.  More generous sponsorships are rewarded with 
  increased recognition.  More information can be found on the sponsorship 
  page of our website:
  http://www.flourishconf.com/sponsorship/.
 
  Thank you for your time.  I hope that I will see you again at Flourish 
  Conference 2010.
 
  Sincerely,
  Aisha Halim
 
 
 Yours c.
