[Osmf-talk] Subscription of OSMF members to the osmf-talk mailinglist

[Guillaume Rischard]

Hi Mikel,

The best reaction when you disagree with something in the weekly is, I think, to post a response in your diary, then submit it at https://osmbc.openstreetmap.de. Often, there’s just nothing to link to for whatever “the other side” is.

I haven’t experienced or seen defensive responses from the Weekly crowd. What did you write to them? Could it have been read as criticism or tone policing?

Cheers,

Guillaume

I'm not sure who manages it and if it has any formal affiliation with OSMF (the about links send me to some seemingly unrelated websites), but it does a wonderful job of summarising discussions, technical tips, news, and a lot of other things about OSM.
