• Mapping
  • There’s a new proposal for gender neutral access (e.g. toilets). tagging@ post, wiki proposal
  • I made a little MapRoulette task for tiny landuses
• Community
  • Mastodon (en.osm.town)
    • The Twitter→Mastodon crossposting service for the OpenStreetMap Twitter account was broken, and needed to be turned off & on again. (ops issue on GH)
• CWG
  • OSM Instagram
    • Started using the “business” tools for this account.
    • Queued up a weeks worth of old posts based on WeeklyOSM
    • Attempted (& failed) to set up the multi account, to allow others to post to Insta.
• OSMF Board
  • Emailed board my suggestion about allowing under 18’s to be OSMF (assoc.) members
  • AGM
    • Posted on social media encouraging people to stand as candidates. osmus slack, hot slack, twitter, fediverse/mastodon, mailing list (also asked ~10 ppl privately)
  • Asked board if we should publish the osmf scoping doc
  • Test emmail to new talk@/osmf-talk@ mods to see if they have an email account yet
  • Emailed SRDP to see if they wanted to do it again
  • Ending my term early
    • My current OSMF Board term could last another year, but I’ve decided to end it early at this AGM.
    • I’ve found the OSMF Board to be using a lot of my free time.
    • I’ve found myself getting frustrated with Board work, which negatively affects how I’ve been able to do board work. I feel cynical and bitter, which is not a good position.
    • You may notice from these entries, that I’m not doing as much in the last few months.
    • It was easier to do Board work during Corona pandemic time, when there was no events happening, but now there’s so many things I want to do with my life.
    • A year ago, I knew what I would be getting in to, and asked you to vote for me. I’m sorry to everyone who hoped I’d spend the whole 2 years.
    • I’m happy with many things I did on the board, and unhappy with other things. Maybe later, with distance, I’ll be able to explain.
    • There’s plenty of things you can do in OSM, without the OSMF Board. I’m not going anywhere. 😈
