Hi,<br><br> as you know we're in the middle of a license change process in which, unfortunately and probably due to non-ideal communications on the part of OSMF[*], some people have reservations concerning the foundation, and/or assume sinister motives behind the license change process.<br><br>Today I have been asked whether OSMF board members earn money for the OSMF job, and whether their day job is anything to do with OSM. I said no they don't earn money from OSMF, and pointed them to<br><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Member_Bios">http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board_Member_Bios</a></span><br><br>- where all board members have a short bio & their business interestes listed. It is very good, especially in times like these, to have such information online to make OSMF's work transparent. However I noticed that the page is still in its pre-SOTM form (with Ulf, Andy, Michael listed instead of
Emilie, Ivan, and Oliver).<br><br>It would be great if it could be updated soon.<br><br>Bye<br>Frederik<br><br>[*] It's a fact but not a criticism - I'd rather have OSMF use £10k for new servers than for paying a slick PR consultant to make mappers docile.<br><br>-- Frederik Ramm ## eMail <a ymailto="mailto:frederik@remote.org" href="mailto:frederik@remote.org">frederik@remote.org</a> ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33"<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>osmf-talk mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:osmf-talk@openstreetmap.org" href="mailto:osmf-talk@openstreetmap.org">osmf-talk@openstreetmap.org</a><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk</a></span><br></div></div>
