[Osmf-talk] Attribution Guidelines adopted | Re: Draft Attribution Guidelines, possible vote at end of this month & new guidelines.

[Amanda McCann]

Hi all,

Last Friday the OSMF Board voted (3 yes, 0 abstain, 0 no, and 2 CoI (myself & Mikel)) to approve this as the OSMF's current Attribution Guidelines. The full minutes of the meeting will be published in due course ( https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2021-06 ) , but I wanted to communicate this to yous now.
