Having a written down set of core values is useful for any group of people who interact with each other. Since diverse groups will always find areas of disagreement, a good, compact and agreed set of core values can act as an objective starting point from which to resolve such disagreements in a transparent and respectful way.<br><br></div><span style="font-size:13px;">The draft set of core values that we as the board are sharing now represents our attempt to describe those values we believe to be widely shared by sincere members of the mapping community. We want to share our work with your so we can have the benefit of your comments. We would like the end result to be a set of core values that the entire community is proud to adopt. So please help us identify important pieces that we have missed, unwarranted assumptions we have made or areas where we just haven't been clear enough.</span><br style="font-size:13px;"><div><span style="font-size:13px;"><br></span></div><div>(The content below is pasted from our working document, so please excuse any restatement of the above in the introduction...):</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your comments,</div><div>Dermot</div><div>OSMF Board</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>OSM Core Values</div><div>===============</div><div><br></div><div>Explanatory note: This is a discussion document arising out of the OSMF Board 2015 Face-to-Face meeting. Board members have attempted to describe, from our respective points of view, a set of core values that we think might enjoy broad agreement from mappers. We do not intend to hastily imply any mapper consensus around these values nor do we intend to impose them onto the community. But we hope that you will give us feedback with the goal of arriving at a set of values that all mappers will be happy to get behind.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best Map: We want to make the best map data set of the world.
</div><div><br></div><div>Free to all: OSM Data is available under a Free and Open licence to everybody.
</div><div><br></div><div>Importance of Community: OSM is powered by its Community. Engage positively with the Community, be a good and respectful neighbour and assume good intent.
</div><div><br></div><div>Anybody can edit: OSM works because of the power of the crowd and our goal is to enable everybody in the world to contribute. Everybody is free to edit the map and applications are encouraged to help their users improve the map.
</div><div><br></div><div>Widely used: We want OSM data to be used as widely as possible.
</div><div><br></div><div>Ground Truth: OSM favours objective “Ground Truth” over all other sources.
</div><div><br></div><div>Extensibility: OSM wants you to map the things you care about and will ensure that you have the freedom to do so. This safeguards the accessibility of our map to diverse users with differing needs.</div></div><div><br></div></div></div><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><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmf-talk</a><br><br><br></div> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
