State of the Map policy

The State of the Map (SotM) conference is the annual, international conference of OpenStreetMap and it is organised by the SotM Working Group of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Regional SotM conferences (such as SotM-Asia, SotM-Africa, SotM-LatAm) are organised exclusively by local teams, which run their own sponsorship programs and have separate budgets from the OSM Foundation.

This distinction is not always clear, sometimes creating confusion (for example, sponsors of regional SotM events mistakenly sending emails to the OSMF SotM Working Group). Additionally, there could be occasions where the regional SotM event dates might clash with the dates of the international SotM. This discussion will be about the introduction of a policy related to regional SotM events, that could cover areas such as event clashes, codes of conduct and others. A list of related ideas has been submitted to the board via email by Rob Nickerson (SotM-WG leader for SotM2017 and SotM2016).

Advisory Board on-boarding

The Advisory Board is an entity separate from the OSMF board of directors, composed of individuals - either nominated by corporate members of the OSMF or invited directly by the OSMF board of directors. Discussion about on-boarding.

Planning of the 2017 Annual General Meeting

Annual General Meetings are held once per year with the main order of business being to present the financial accounts for the last year, and election of new board members. This year's AGM will probably take place in December. What might be discussed:
  • Any resolutions for members to vote on
  • Board elections' planning
  • Ensuring that the voting process works

Local Chapter applications - Update

The two current Local Chapter applications are from Germany and Belgium.

Previous updates or discussions:
September 2017 (Germany and Belgium),
August 2017 (Germany),
July 2017 (Germany).

SotM-WG request for some of Dorothea's time

The State of the Map Working Group has sent an email to the board, asking whether administrative support can be provided for SotM2018, as it was for SotM2017. This will be mainly for scholarship support (if scholarships will be provided - something yet to be confirmed) and for sponsorship administrative work. The ratio is expected to be roughly 60%:40%. A maximum number of 100 hours has been suggested (down from 124 last year).

Any Other Business

Next meeting

Meetings now take place on the 3rd Thursday of the month, at 21:00 London time, unless rescheduled.

The next monthly board meeting will be on the 16th of November, at 21:00 London time.
