Mapping
- Coninuted to map every day, although hdyc might show a gap, it’s cause I count edits after midnight as part of the day.
CWG
- I worked on a draft that eventually became “How Joe Biden’s Ancestors helped OpenStreetMap, and OpenStreetMap helps our descendants”
- Minor beurocracy for new CWG meetings
LCCWG moderation subcttee/CoC
- Minor beurocracy
Board
- Board Meeting
  - December Board meeting. It was the last with my 2 friends Paul Norman & Joost Schouppe. Obviously it won’t be the last time I talk to them. 🙂
  - Post-AGM Board meeting, where I was elected OSMF Secretary
- A Local Chapter complained that the Bing imagery had gotten worse. I contacted Microsoft to see if there was anything up. At the time of writing, nothing has happened
- Attribution Guidelines
  - The OSMF Board & the LWG had a meeting to talk further about this.
  - There’s a “Community attribution advice” proposed guidelines, I replied (#1 #2) to the mailing list post
- HOT & OSMF Board
  - Another draft of the proposed trademark grant
  - Started organising a meeting between OSMF & HOT Boards.
- AGM
  - Prep: Review’ed Allan’s chairperson report
  - [⚠ Discussion on sexual assault ⚠] I wanted to stay out of the [Election to the Board], but I had to reply to a misogynistic email: My email reply, also on Fediverse/Mastodon (mirrored to the birdsite)
  - Actually went to AGM
- Local Chapters
  - Reviewed the AoA & finances for the OSM Poland application
  - Reviewed AoA for OSM Japan application & power of attorney document
  - There’s a suggestion to document better what’s involved in a local chapter application, and a draft has been started.
- I started arranging the traditional OSMF Board Screen2Screen weekend meeting for February 2021
- As the new OSMF Secretary, I tried to set up the framagenda, and had to send copies of signature.
