Just a comment, I suspect the discussion we are having about the changes to the logo and license etc are a symptom of something much deeper. I do get the feeling that there is a disconnect between what is being perceived and what the intentions are. There seems to be a perception floating in the air that there is no need to discuss implications and that what we need is strong decision makers. This is not a corporation where you can hire and fire people at will or threaten them with no pay raises. OSM needs to have mappers on side. It has grown very quickly these maybe just growth pains.
It could be that those at the top are finding life stressful, certain members have recently changed their employment which can in itself be a stressful time. I'm not certain what the solution is I just hope it isn't complete self-destruct for OSM. Do we have any ways to relieve the pressure? I'm not even sure if we elect directors for a two year term or use other formal methods which have been used in other organizations. Cheerio John
