Hi,<br>
<br>
Following the discussion on the infamous french Cadastre '"imports"',<br>
I've tried to find the country of living of the DWG members (according<br>
to <a href="http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group" target="_blank">http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group</a>):<br>
Matt Amos (OSMF Board) ; Matt ; UK<br>
Tom Hughes ; TomH ; UK<br>
Paul Norman ; pnorman ; near Vancouver, Canada<br>
Frederik Ramm ; ? ; Germany<br>
Henning Scholland ; ? ; Germany?<br>
Grant Slater ; ? ; UK<br>
Dave Stubbs ; randomjunk ; UK<br>
Richard Weait ; rw__ ; Toronto, Canada<br>
<br>
So, it seems that only three countries are represented, that half of the<br>
members are UK residents, and that 6 out of the 8 members are native<br>
english speakers, the other two being native german speakers.<br>
<br>
Are there plans to increase diversity amongst members of the DWG?<br>
It would certainly be helpful if more local communities would have one<br>
of their members amongst the DWG members.<br>
