[Talk-ca] Community consultation re Windsor Hackforge OSMF Local Chapter Application

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Yeah, the small area was also our initial comment regarding the
application. But based on our current Local Chapters framework, the OSMF
didn't specify a minimum area or size for the area that will be covered by
an organization so that in itself would not disqualify Windsor Hackforge's
application. Also, we discussed this concern internally within the Board
and we agreed that small size is not an issue.
