[Osmf-talk] Zusammenfassung der Antworten der Kandidaten und ihrer Wahlprogramme

[Gregory]

Thank you for sharing the links Frederick.

I especially like the summary, although want to clarify some points on me
and not sure if I should edit that page (I have BCC'd Westnordost in this
e-mail).
Related Experience... This depends on what aspect of experience is
required. I have been on the OSM UK local chapter board and forgot to
mention that much in my answers. I would change the cheatsheet to say
"Various, including SotM and OSM UK board).
On the ground rule... I say yes to this rule but fear the past board put us
in a really tricky(and upsetting) place and I want more information/time
before I revert a reverted decision. I probably went too "politician" when
answering that.
Hot topics... Proactive representation/publicity of OSM to the external
world plus proactively supporting the great work of WGs.


Christoph, yours is more in depth so is for those with time to read! The
quotes help recap the analysis you have made.
Sometimes I feel you misinterpreted my answers (or didn't see what I was
saying), other times I think I didn't give my best or true view so I'd like
to add to my answers.

Tell us about yourself... My answer very much links to each question. I
answered in sentences so it can be read/clipped without needing the
questions, but it's in the same order.

Board face to face... Good analysis on the question, but I think it would
have been better to have a different question on how to work remotely. The
f2f is not essential but is so beneficial to have met in person, I had also
recently heard the current board talk about that to. I have a lot of
experience with remote teams that hadn't met (SotM, and some non-mapping
groups) but that was not the question so I won't lingerer on it now.

Board & community, multilingual maps... I did refer to the "map layers on
osm.org policy" but I went further and would like us to have more
people/orgs that intentionally meet that policy.

Board & community, attribution by corporations... I wanted to support the
role/authority of working groups. In this and other analysis you have made
me aware of Conflicts of Interest in the LWG(a group I'm less familiar
with). If elected this will now help me address the Facebook attribution
issue a lot more. It's clear that the board really should be doing
something about the continuing issues and link to corporate members being
responsible OSMers. I would like to be firm with Facebook but I'm cautious
there will be a whole board that needs to agree on actions... I suppose you
might get some meeting minutes to analysis. I think Guillaume would be
particularly good in working on this, and he obviously has more closer
experience.

Board & community, GDPR implementation... I read the question as focusing
on policy and practical implementation. I see that GDPR is important and
good even though it causes more work for companies. A few months before it
came into force in the UK my employer was still wanting to disregard all
the things it aims to stop. The director had a shouting rant about how
bad/unfair GDPR was and so I went back to my desk to look for a new job, I
was prepared to leave even if I didn't have something to go to.


I have not completely decided how many people I will vote for and in what
order. Christoph's analysis will be helpful for me to check I've read
manifestos/answers right. If you are considering voting (or not voting) for
me, then I would suggest you read my answers yourself as Christoph seems to
only have short or missing comments about me.

To quote myself... "There should not be much I can achieve on the board
that I can't as an OSMF or community member." ...and I add that I', not
going anywhere. I will be dedicated and involved in the project regardless
of whether I get elected I love it far too much. :)

Gregory Marler.
