On the subject of joining the foundation at SotM, is it possible to
offer a discounted membership to those with a significant number of
edits? Either during the conference or at any time?<br>
<br>
I joined the foundation to support it but really OSM's true members
are those who edit it not those who pay money, going forwards I'd
like to see more meritocracy in membership and rewards based on
edits.<br>

<div>Hi Henk,<br>
<br>
</div>
cc: SotM Team, OSM Foundation Board<br>
<br>
</div>
A couple of months back we discussed the idea of having
some way to join the OSM Foundation at SotM2013. You noted
that we have not done this in the past as there has never
been the time to organise it in the mad rush in the weeks
leading up to the conference.<br>
<br>
</div>
Can I therefore ask that you raise this idea with the Board
early (as in, now) so that they can decide whether they
would like to have a sign-up stand / poster / lightning
talk.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Remarks:<br>
<ul>
<li>How would you like to promote membership (the "why I
should join" bit)?<br>
</li>
<li>Would a discount if you join during the conference be
possible/desired?</li>
<li>Should this extend to non attendees?</li>
<li>
Will a Board member be able to bring a laptop
specifically for the purpose of signing people up to OSM
Foundation (e.g. online purchase of membership)?</li>
<li>Is offline purchase of membership an option (e.g.
Cash) and will the Board need a secure place to hold
cash?</li>
<li>If accepting cash, which currencies will you accept? <br>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
