[Osmf-talk] openness of disputes / issues

[Mario Frasca]

Dear Fellows,

I'm having difficulties with our issue management system, in particular 
the issues we open on the DWG and who's in charge, and what's the status.

some of you may be aware I'm in Panamá, and I made some efforts to 
create a local community of mappers, not particularly successful, 
possibly clumsy.

more recently I tried to obtain support at requiring some minimal 
openness around the YouthMappers Chapter YMUP at the Universidad de 
Panamá, hoping to engage them with the rest of the community.

for this I've opened one issue (and by mistake a second one) with the 
DWG, namely 2020120710000024 (and 2020122210000068) and all I understood 
was that I should not insist.

I know that the YMUP Chapter, or possibly YouthMappers International, or 
maybe Esri, I don't know, but I know that someone has complained about 
my complaints, and I wish to know who, and in what terms.

on January 3rd we had a Zoom meeting (platform was not my choice), 
meeting that derailed, and now our community has the difficult task to 
learn from it, but without having access to the logs.  if I understood 
correctly, an issue to the Foundation was opened on this base, and I 
wonder what is the base.

it's my opinion, but I do not call this a proper handling of issues.

can we **demand** openness?

best regards,

Mario Frasca
