[talk-au] Active Australian OSM contributors in light of CT/license changes

[Andrew Harvey]

Since the ban on all contributors who didn't sign the CTs, and ban on all
new contributors from using NearMap and other CC-BY/CC-BY-SA sources, I'm no
longer actively contributing to the OSM database. Instead I am now actively
contributing to the fosm database. I am interested to hear what other active
Australian OSM contributors will be doing now.

Just looking through the list at http://odbl.de/australia.html we have a
fair amount of people who have been locked out, and also people who ticked
the CTs who have used CC-BY/CC-BY-SA sources in the past who may want to
keep this data and continue using these sources in the future.

So, active Australian OSM contributors, are you staying with the OSM db? If
so how are you going to do edits going forward, because any CC-BY-SA derived
data you add may be removed if OSM abandons CC-BY-SA at some point in the
future (or may even be conflicting with your agreed CTs now...).

Are you moving to the fosm db? If so, great! Less problems with trying to
merge your data into fosm, and we can all get back to mapping. Do you have
any concerns over the switch?

Are you going to stop contributing data altogether? Or are you putting you
efforts on hold at the moment.

I'm interested in Australia wide, but I'm personally most interested to hear
from Franc, behemoth14, rrankin, Zhent, Ebenezer, swanilli, inas, Diego,
good2010, dexgps. (these are just those that come to mind from looking over
recent edits in the Sydney area)
