Hi SomeoneElse,

This is a new team. We’ll get an entry up on the organized editing wiki in the coming days.

Frederik, I’d hardly characterize running for the OSMF board as a ‘power grab’ of any sort. The OSMF has remained largely a powerless, puppet organization and has failed to make forward progress on several fronts including upholding its core mission. Here are a couple of examples from the Mission Statement:

  • Is responsible for a friendly environment for people to participate in OSM
  • Defines a strategic vision
  • Maintains a set of clear project goals, which may be a subset of all possible goals
  • Takes active steps to safeguard project relevance, future and success

OSM would be much better served if its OSMF board members were working to develop new and creative ways to engage the community and promote the project and its future success rather than making baseless acquisitions and promoting dire predictions about the future.

The Maps Team at Facebook is excited to announce RapiD Editor Partner Testing

Great work DrishT! Nice to see the continued contributions to OSM from the mapping team at Facebook.
