Hi all,

As requested by Mikel following Friday's IRC meeting, I will add below
the additional items we agreed should be on our SWG plan for the year:

For plan: Finish the work that has begun, attempt to find consensus on
the Core Value suggestions to date:

Additional items for plan:

Arising once again because of the switch2osm campaign: Confront the
issue of where users wishing to use OSM instead of other providers
should get their services. Base assumption (also for discussion): That
there should be suitable map services for such users, that it should
be a strategic goal to ensure this become so. This is without
prejudice to the question of who should operate the services.

May I request that others who were present augment these points if you
feel I've omitted something important from the meeting.
