Re: [Talk-us] OSM US chapter election manifestos
I was asked to run by a couple of people, and, I'm curious what people think the issues are. Or, another way of looking at it, is crowd-sourcing a manifesto. So, here's a form. People like you can write a sentence or two on what they think I should work on, if elected: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/109xitiqMGKFl_E96mvJ3evzfRsWaThoGs2G94gs-Fcs/viewform Thanks Steve On Oct 3, 2013, at 7:32 PM, "Paul Norman" wrote: > One of the requirements for nominees is that "nominees must provide > statements via links on the nominations wiki page."

As they're the US chapter elections, members of the US chapter can vote. To avoid confusion, I should note that there is no formal link between the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) and OpenStreetMap US (OSM-US). The OSMF acts as the legal entity of the OpenStreetMap project, is the custodian of the servers and services that run openstreetmap.org, and organizes the annual State of the Map conference. OSM-US "supports the OpenStreetMap project in the United States through fostering awareness, ensuring broad availability of data, continuous quality improvement, and an active community". I know that those running know this (or should!), but there periodically is confusion among other people. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [Talk-us] OSM US chapter election manifestos
Thanks for the reminder, Paul! To be perfectly honest, I was waiting for someone else to put their manifesto up first so I had an idea of what was expected. (Two sentences? A dissertation?) I also just want to wish everyone luck, and express how happy I am that there are four women running. Way to go! May the best people win.
