Hi,
I currently work as a Community Ambassador at CloudMade. As a Community
Ambassador I spend a majority of my time helping communities organize mapping
events and working with non-profit organizations to help them utilize OSM as a
tool to increase education about open geodata and geospatial education in
general. More information about me, the company I work for and my position can
be found on my user page at : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Thea_Clay
In the interest of openness I think it is important to note that I am running
for the OSM-US board as an individual, not as a CloudMade employee or as part
of my duties as a Community Ambassador. I work on the OSM-US local chapter in
my free time and do not in anyway represent the views or interests of the
company in this capacity.
Best,
Thea Clay

Hi
One of the things we found at the OSMF is that you really need to be open about
any potential conflicts of interest, like where you work or if you hold shares
in TeleAtlas... that kind of thing. Anything a reasonable outsider could
conclude is a potential conflict.
I think that for your own good so it's not a surprise to people, all those
running for the board of OSMF-US should be upfront about it. I don't think
there's any shame in it, but I can tell you from experience that people get
very upset if you're not clear about everything from day 1.
Yours c.
Steve

i'm willing to start. i have no affiliations in the industry at the
present time,
just an IT consultant who is out looking for a full time gig, and working on
a startup which will have little to do with mapping.

Hey All,
I'm usually pretty up front about the fact that I work for FortiusOne.
It was an oversight with announcing my acceptance that I didn't
mention it.
FortiusOne uses OSM tiles on our public site http://www.geocommons.com
as well as the appliances. I personally maintain an open source
geocoder as part of my job which I would love to be able to put OSM
address data in at some point (when there is better US coverage). The
local DC OSM group meets occasionally in the FortiusOne office, since
the space is free and available.
-Kate
