Hello All,

First, I wish everyone in the global OSM community and their families good health and safety during this time of the global pandemic. I offer my deepest condolences to all who have experienced loss and hardship this year. My name is Logan McGovern and I am a candidate running for election to the OSMF board. Due to recent events, I feel obliged to share my thoughts and briefly reiterate what I stand for as a candidate.

A statement signed by a coalition of organizations and individuals has been circulated in recent days. It states that the OSM community has failed to confront systemic offensive behavior against women and minority groups. I signed the statement. OpenStreetMap has the potential to become the greatest geographic resource in existence, but only after everyone is proactively brought into the fold. Work remains to be done towards this end. I will give this cause my ear and my voice, pursuing all potential remedies, including a potential restructuring of the board.
