What is the status of the forum: <a href="http://forum.openstreetmap.org">http://forum.openstreetmap.org</a>?<br><br>Would building this out more maybe solve some of our problems? In my current role, we tend us to use forums on our wikis more than mailing lists, and I know that wikipedia moved away from mailing lists as they grew. I am not positive this is the best solution, but it is an option.<br>

I think using local lists is up to the local OSM groups, but I agree with the principle that one list is enough for the US as long as it is not used quite a bit more than it is now. But I can certainly imagine that local OSM groups may have a lot of local things to discuss that they may want their own list for like we have seen it in Europe.<br>

Neither list has any real traffic, and what they do tend to just be<br>
reposts of talk-us.<br>
<br>
Splitting the community at this stage is retarded, we should wait for<br>
talk-us to grow to a sizable level and then begin spinning off as<br>
required, like we did with the other lists.<br>

<br>
So we had discussed earlier having a call regarding forming a US Chapter.<br>
I suggest we set-up a call for sometime next week. Since we don't have that<br>
many time zones involved I'm going to suggest next Thursday (October 29th)<br>
at 4 PM EST unless there is a major push that we should do things outside of<br>
working hours.<br>
<br>
I don't have any experience using free conference call software if anyone<br>
has a specific recommendation I would be open to that. I'm not sure what<br>
OSM working groups normally use.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

Drop.io provides free conference calling features. Last time I used it was<br>
over a year ago, but it worked pretty well. I created a drop here for OSM:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://drop.io/openstreetmap" target="_blank">http://drop.io/openstreetmap</a><br>
<br>
Conference number is listed on the page.<br>
