You're right on that Andy, as it was I that asked you to join the FG, I very much liked the contact with other FG members, the creation of the SWOT, the interview and the SOTM workshop on dreams for 2020: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future/Dreams#Attendants_of_workshop_.27Road_map_to_the_future.27.2C_SOTM_Birmingham.2C_7_September_2013
There were enough people involved in the FG. Main challenge was keeping the fire burning. So it's good to see new enthousiasm coming in. I can't recall if I invited you on the Hangout at March 2nd this year. If not: excuses for that. I'm however sure I included you in the invitation mail which I send a few weeks before that Hangout, see below. Result of that meeting (no notes available) was that the participants wanted to go on (I also said yes although I was a bit reluctant) and that Dermot would take care of some procedures to turn FG into the FWG. Since then -till now- it has become very silent. Invitation mail of February 2014 below: ________________________ Hi everyone on Sunday 2 March 2014 21:00 Amsterdam time (20:00 London, 12:00 Seattle) I'll invite you to a Hangout on the future of the future group. There has been inactivity lately within the Future Group. Therefore I see the following options for the Future Group: 1. quit because of the inactivity 2. go on as as FG or as a FWG, but only with the people who show interest in proceeding If we go on, maybe we should be focussing more on practical issues such as our major weaknesses. Like the one I've been involved in for the last four months: address and building imports. One other practical thing I'm thinking about, if we go on, is increasing cooperation between OSM and professional parties like Telenav. A third practical one is thinking about the way (smartphone?) editors could become friendly enough to newcomers, especially when the data density in OSM rises (for example beacuse of imports or because of micromapping). See you on the 2nd of March!
