associate it with HOT, sorry for that. <br>

main communication channel and why don't we have a decent
contact or OSM wiki page ? And if I am missing out on it, where
does it exist ? Is it a work in progress or what is the reason
not to use the OSM forum, recurring Mapathons are already
ongoing.<br>

wannabee local chapters, recently, initiated by or from HOT,
best example recently OSM Africa, do not have a local OSM wiki
page. By using the OSM tradename restrict other groups from
taking the same initiative. I don't think this would work in
any other region of the world, HOT establishing an OSM Europe
or OSM North America managed by HOT and through OSM foreign
communication channels.</blockquote>
<div>@Bert you have made a couple of valid points but this one
right above here might be misleading in relation to OSM Africa
[1]. HOT did not establish OSM Africa netowork, thank you.</div>
