[Osmf-talk] OSMF Business Card

[pitort at eclipso.eu]

Maybe the solution is not a physical object, today my federative mountain license is an app. Pure software instead of a piece of plastic

The problem I see is simply, "Who is going to do the work of producing

plastic membership cards, then mailing them out annually?" The MWG is

like all working groups a small set of volunteers who run the MWG in 
their spare time and I have yet to hear from its members that they would

be willing to add this to the MWG's task list. And even then, a plastic

membership card is IMHO unlikely to quell paranoia any better than a 
self-printed business card would.

Another approach to this problem is for the OSMF board to authorize 
community members to use the OSM logo for customizing surveyor's vests 
and then wearing them while collecting data. On-line retailers offer 
them for competitive (=low) prices. Wearing surveyor's vests while 
collecting data would allay the concerns of most (but certainly not all)

suspicious and paranoid neighbors.
