This is more or less why i added these questions to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Foundation/AGM14/Election_to_Board to encourange everyone - members and candidates - to make up their mind. To be frank - if you expect the OSMF members to have an opinion on the matter you should as an OSMF member yourself also have an opinion. People who have a clear stance on this will probably want to vote for someone who shares their opinion, not for someone who - i am sorry if this seems harsh - opportunistically will do whatever the majority wants. I fully understand if you or other candidates think you cannot (yet) form a qualified opinion on this but then i think you can't expect this from the membership either. Personally i would want to vote for someone who clearly states her/his support for a restart since i find the accounts of Richard, Frederik and others pretty convincing and supported by the observable facts about the OSMF work. I am well aware this would also involve the risk of the results being even worse than now (as for example indicated by Randy Meech). But i am not an OSMF member so these thoughts are quite academic... Thanks by the way to you and the other candidates for answering the questions on the wiki. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
