<pre wrap="">The biggest pain is printing. I've done membership cards as a membership
secretary before and while it's easy to do a once a year print run of an
individual card per person it's not so easy to be doing them in ones and
twos. We would also potential each need a varying size batch of cards
depending on how much evangelising we do. Perhaps for the evangelising
approach the little 8-fold handouts and some printed labels would be
simpler. I'm not after a membership card per se.

I wonder if Moo would be interested in sponsoring the cards. Could be
a huge highlight for them - we could dump a feed to them of the OSM-F,
and a list of 5 GPX traces or areas the Member has mapped. Then
generate an image as the backing of the card. Members would be very
proud to hand out the card that shows their contribution.

I know one of the Moo employees is an OSMer (has turned up to at least
1 London meetup) so I think it would be worth contacting them and
discussing what cool things could be done. Some confirmation would
probably be best, to confirm the member likes the areas and wants the
pictures.<br>
Hmm, thinking to myself Moo seem to like including more sources for
pictures (Flickr, facebook...) and I imagine there are
non-OSM-evangelists that would like a map on their business card (oh if
only there was an online map that linked into Moo without copyright
difficulties!).<br>
