I’d be curious if the board nominees could answer a few questions.
1) What do you think the OSM.us organization does well?
a: SOTM-US has been consistently excellent in recent years
b: organizing events such as mapathons
2) Where do you think it “needs improvement"?
a: we have talked about things like presenting a US oriented map rendering
on openstreetmap.us but that hasn't gone very far. a US rendering
with
the experimental shield stuff would be lovely.
b: we need to finish up the 501(c)3 status
c: we have some largish servers but maybe need to think about what services
we want to make available on them and for whom we do that
d: we have talked about the challenges of improving the "on ramp" for the
project for newbies, but there is still work to be done there.
3) What are two initiatives you’d like to the board to undertake during your
tenure?
3a) How can you contribute to those?
3b) How would you measure their success?
a: finishing off the 501(c)3 is important to the financial future of OSM US
b: improve "on ramp" in order to improve our stats for new users who
turn into
active mappers
