This is confusion. Kate was challenging that notion and was saying that HOT is definitely part of the OSM community, and OSM encompassed a lot of methods. No one I've seen in HOT or OSM is anti OSM, that's just wrong. We're all hear to create the best open map ever. Maybe we can focus on how to do that.

While rabid anti-OSMers are gaining more power and influence in HOT and MM, I do assume that the majority of the HOT and MM communities are not falling in to the trap of believing their own marketing copy and realize that they are a small minority in the larger OSM community and are dependent on the good will and support of the wider OSM community to make a difference.

Is the OSM community to remain static and "conventions" made years ago may never change? Do we not have the same goal of a free map of the entire world? -Kate On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 1:44 AM, Christoph Hormann <chris_horm...@gmx.de> wrote: On Thursday 19 November 2015, Frederik Ramm wrote: > > #MissingMaps #hotosm-project-12345 Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC) > #100mapathons #OSMGeoWeek > > This is *not* useful. But to be fair this is not only the fault of the mappers but also of the HOT project managers since they specifically instruct mappers to use such changeset comments. Generally the HOT project mapping instructions contain a lot of things that are questionable from the viewpoint of the OSM community. IMO HOT needs to make sure these comply with the OSM conventions, for example by sourcing these instructions from the OSM wiki and allowing the OSM community to provide input and fixes this way. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
