''Sarah Hoffman (Nominatim), Richard Fairhurst (Potlatch) and Jochen Topf (osm2pgsql) were present at the meeting.''
 
=== Nominatim, osm2pgsql, Potlatch ===
The proposals for [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql osm2pgsql] and [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2 Potlatch] were originally submitted as [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants Microgrant] 2020 proposals ''([https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Potlatch_2_for_desktop Potlatch 2 proposal], [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Osm2pgsql_development osm2pgsql proposal])'' but were not selected. Suggestion to fund these projects directly, together with [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim Nominatim] and [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID iD].
 
'''Potlatch 2 - [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Potlatch_2_for_desktop Proposal]'''
* Still used by significant number of users: ~ 1.4% of users (and 1.2% of all edits).
* Flash will be disabled in browsers in December.
* Suggestion to port to desktop.
 
'''osm2pgsql - [[Osm2pgsql project 2020-07 | Proposal to board]]'''
* Used to run OSM website and used in other places.
* Old piece of software - suggestion for core improvements to make it ready for next 10 years.
* The requested amount is bigger than the Microgrants proposal, as Microgrants were limited to EUR 5000 and Jochen wants to work more on it.
 
'''Nominatim - [[Nominatim project 2020-07 | Proposal to board]]'''
* Geocoder used in osm.org and other places.
* Proposal to make it more user friendly to install and run.
 
''Proposal to vote on funding. Follow-up discussion:''
* We have not done a community consultation.
* December deadline for Potlatch.
* Community consultation for Microgrants was positive for Potlatch ([https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Potlatch_2_for_desktop#Endorsements endorsements]) and osm2pgsql ([https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Osm2pgsql_development#Endorsements endorsements]) - we could do a community consultation for Nominatim.
 
''Question to Richard Fairhurst about how we are on time regarding Potlatch.''<br>
''> As long we are before December, it is fine.''

|
Motion to move the proposals for Nominatim, osm2pgsql and Potlatch to community consultation.
|-
| ''Accepted, no objections.''
|}
 
'''Action item:''' Guillaume and Joost to draft the email for community consultation and then the board to decide via a [[Board_Rules_of_Order#7._Circular_Resolutions| circular]].
 
''Post meeting addition: [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2020-August/006987.html Consultation on the OSMF-members mailing list] (If you are an OSMF member [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk register here].
