State of the Map 2018 OSMUK engagement planning

Jez Nicholson PublicSeen by 300

2 OSMUK Directors, Gregory Marler and Jez Nicholson, will be attending State of the Map 2018 in Milan 28-30 July, and I'm sure there will be some OSMUK members too.

Are there any OSMUK-specific activities you'd like us to perform on your behalf?

Brian Prangle has already suggested that we talk to UK-based delegates and ask them what what they expect from OSM, whether/how they use data, what data they can offer and try to get them involved.

I'm assuming that because they are at SotM that they know a fair bit already...but maybe they haven't thought about it from their organisation's point of view?

Between them, Jez and Gregory will speak to every UK delegate at SotM 2018 and gauge opinion on OSM UK

Outcome
by Jez Nicholson

Greg and Jez will attempt to speak to every UK delegate at SOTM

This is a proposal for the board meeting to discuss and agree on the monthly telecon

Results

Agree

With 3 days, this feels achievable. I feel we should be speaking to all international sponsors as well. Immobiliare are the only sponsor from Italy and I don't know what their international reach is (if any).

Jez Nicholson
Agree

it'll be me partly, so yes...just need to know how organised we want to be, ranges from 'having a chat' to 'filling in a survey'

Gregory Marler (former Director)

I'm also on the SotM organising team but it seems like a fun challenge!

Other activities...
I'm bringing my "OSM UK folder" to put on the OSMF local chapters table. I might add a note asking people what they like about our chapter or suggestions (aiming for inter-chapter support and inspiration).

I'm speaking on the Sunday afternoon about OSM UK. 14 years / 1 year on.
I've totally prepared fully for that, and the slides aren't exclusively in my head at the moment.
