Hello all, The OSMF Local Chapters Working Group is moving towards building a framework for the recognition and collaboration with future OSMF Local Chapters all over the world. Having Local Chapters that involves local OSM contributors makes sense because OSMF cannot function everywhere and it would be better to spread OSM's mission and promotion among Local Chapters.
Towards that end, the LCWG has created an initial list of requirements for potential Local Chapters: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/ wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/Requirements There is also an initial agreement between a potential Local Chapter and OSMF: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/Agreement These are all patterned from the Local Chapters framework of the Wikimedia Foundation and on points discussed during LCWG online meetings. Please take note that these are *draft* documents and really needs more input from the community, especially from Local Chapters-to-be. If you are interested in commenting on, and discussing these draft documents or participating in setting up the Local Chapters framework in general, please do consider joining the local-chapters mailing list which was specifically set-up to discuss these things: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/local-chapters You can also find more information about the status of OSMF Local Chapters over at the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters Thanks! Regards, Eugene osm:seav
