> Is this process openly documented somewhere? > Last Sotm WG minutes on http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Minutes#StateoftheMap_Organizing_Committee seem to be from 2015.
The process of bidding is described at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_of_the_Map_2017/Call_for_venues The SotM working group switched to using GitHub as a way of tracking our work (we use it for the Issues/Ticket system rather than code) and this is available to all SotM WG members and all OSMF Board members. We have it set to private due to the fact that it includes financial information and personal information (contact details, and info required for the scholarship programme). Making this available would likely breach data protection and would expose the contracts/finances of our suppliers. Having said that, we remain open to people joining the Working Group, am happy to share info with those organising other OSM events (e.g. regional SotMs) and are currently investigating how to facilitate knowledge share across the Local Chapters and Regional Events. Becoming more transparent would require extra admin work, and given that our working group members already commit a huge amount of volunteer hours to the planning of SotM, this is something that we would need help with. I'm sorry this is not the answer you were hoping for. Regards, *Rob*
