Hi all, With just a few days to go, we only have two names on the ballot for the upcoming US Chapter board elections. We have all five positions up for election, so this is clearly not enough!
Let me tell you what made me run the first time, and why I am running for a fourth term. I love OpenStreetMap and care about its future, and its community here in the United States. Serving on the board has allowed me to work with a small group of committed people to organize great events, spread the word about OSM, support local communities around the nation and help OSM grow in the US. Sure, it requires time and commitment, but it has really been extremely rewarding. In the years I have served on the board, I have seen (and helped) the Chapter evolve into a more professionally run organization, and I am periodically blown away by how much we've been able to do. If you've been thinking about putting your name on the ballot but haven't yet, feel free to reach out to me with questions, ideas, plans, anything you would like to discuss. -- Martijn van Exel President, US Chapter OpenStreetMap http://openstreetmap.us/ http://osm.org/ skype: mvexel _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
