[Osmf-talk] Diversity statement (Was: Next OSMF board meeting on Thursday 30 January 2020, at 17:00 UTC)

[Guillaume Rischard]

Hi again,

We have also prepared a short text creating a Diversity and Inclusion Special Committee (DISC) that we will vote on tonight.

I’m not sure hackmd lets you see authorship, but it was a joint effort of typing this together between Mikel, Tobias, Rory and I.

I’m delighted and proud that the current board is finally taking diversity and inclusion seriously, and tackling the issue. For context, here is Mikel’s recent diary on the topic: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mikelmaron/diary/391966 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mikelmaron/diary/391966>

We welcome any comments and suggestions, here on the mailing list, directly during the board meeting, or through any other private channel.

Happy mapping

Guillaume
