2. WG focus items

Per the Terms of Reference, WG members should work on the focus items.

2.1. Building local community cohesion

2.1.1. Support the development of Microcosms (GL#7)

2.1.2. Provide a tool for communities to welcome new mappers (GL#8)

  • Clifford's OSM-US version: https://welcome.snowandsnow.us
    • Main issue for the US: entire US, because built on Pascal Neis's RSS
    • Relatively easy to set up.
  • Italy's tool that's based on Belgium's tool is not updated. OSM IT wants to add more features.
  • Biggest issue for getting the tool used is finding people who will actually do the welcoming.
  • If someone is available to help people set up their insatnce on one server, that might make life much easier
  • Jorge volunteer to see the feasibility of extending the tool to accommodate multiple communities.
  • Joost to help set-up a meeting between Anisa, Stefano, Midgard and Clifford.

  • Do you pay someone for organizational support? What kind of work do they do?
  • Is there other work you pay for yourself? How do you finance this?
  • Do you help people who need someone to do paid work for them? If so how? And what kind of work? What about paid mapping?
  • Do you this yourself or with an umbrella? (we kind of already know)
