[Osmf-talk] OSMF Strategic Planning 2023 - call for participation

[john whelan]

There seems to be a lot of baby boomers retiring at the moment.  Could we
tap into them in some way?  Find something that resonates with them?

Adding highways and settlements in Africa might be useful but the
advantages of the work needs to be explained.  Local detailed mapping would
need a more complex explanation, i.e. wheelchair accessibility etc.

Yes HOT does this but I'm thinking more intellectually satisfying than
mindless adding of buildings.

Thoughts?

Thanks John
