Hi, all, Just jumping back into this thread with a link to a diary post about the Comms Survey and the Comms project in general.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/courtiney/diary/401468 As I mentioned before, we are presenting at SotM US on the 9th and will post a follow-up to that sometime shortly after. Over in the community forum, Arnalie Vicario mentioned two possible next actions: 1) documenting survey best practices and 2) having BoF discussion about this in Richmond; I like both ideas, particularly if the data can guide us in the approach. There is a lot that can be done and maybe we could work asynchronously and together at SotM EU, Asia and Africa. https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/survey-about-osm-communication-behaviors/98460/15 --Courtney On Wed, May 3, 2023 at 6:36 PM Courtney <courtney.william...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just to tie up a few of the loose ends. > > Nothing that anyone has said has been dismissed or downgraded as merely > "pushback."
