On membership
"We accept everyone that applies. We have a form they sign so we collect their information. However, in order to be a member of good standing and be able to vote, we currently request that they have attended 4/6 bimonthly meetings in the previous 12 months. It's not very formal but has worked so far."
On application procedure
Every Wednesday we have open meetings where FLOSSK and Prishtina Hackerspace members gather together. This is the most common way of getting new members and promoting our organization. Then if they want to become a member we ask them to fill out the "Membership Form". Meetings currently are held online at meet.flossk.org (BigBlueButton server) due to Covid-19.
On communication channels
We use Telegram mostly: https://t.me/osmkosovo, we have also a mailing list but is not used as telegram, the mailing list is: talk-kosovo@openstreetmap.org.
