I want to expand a little on Simon's reply. The Future groups while not a
replacement for the Strategic Working Group, is driving down a path that
resembles the steps one would take to develop a strategic plan. You can see
some of the work we are doing on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Futureas well as the SWOT analysis
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Future. Please feel free to
contribute to the SWOT on the talk page.

Of course we are not working without member input. It's important that we
gather as wide as possible input. Typically we hear those that talk the
loudest on mailing lists. But we also want to hear from the mapper that
just goes about mapping and somehow tunes out the noise.

We introduced the concept of Gender Diversity in our Dreams.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Future/Dreams. We need to quantify
where we are today. Not only gender, but country by country. That data can
help us frame what our goals for the future should be and may help us
develop plans to get there.
