Re: [Talk-us] OSM US election status
I agree that it's great that so many great people are motivated to participate on the board! In the past, we have had enough interest in the project that we created working groups, and it looks like we may be getting enough interested again. The interest in the working groups has certainly waned since OSM US first started, but I think the groups can be recreated and can be very helpful to the advancement of open source mapping within the United States. I think that we should have an Editathon working group that plans the Editathons and themes. I would like to participate in a group devoted to mapping national parks such as this project: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_US_National_Parks I think last time we had too many groups and no real organization between them. I'm hoping we can learn from that and have successful working groups this time around.

Hi all - Just wanted to introduce myself and announce that I'm running for the OSM US board.

Re: [Talk-us] Editing heatmaps for OSM-US canidates
Sad, I think Hawaii is significant -- that's where I grew up! I don't think many people do think it is significant though, which is probably why it's not in great shape in OSM (including a lack of TIGER name expansions in a number of places the last time I looked). -Mele On Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 8:35 PM, Paul Norman penor...@mac.com wrote: I threw together a set of links to OSM-US candidates editing heatmaps for edits in the US, as one of the criteria I'm using for deciding whom to vote for is editing history.
