Hi,

Last month OSM UK (the non-profit community interest company) set out it's
strategy areas for the 2019/20 year. We have made a start on these but a
bit more volunteer time will allow us to speed them up.

If you could volunteer some time for any of the following, please let me
know. Each requires some initial planning before implementing solutions.
Help at either stage is appreciated.

   1. Use the quarterly projects to partner with another organisation to
   leverage their membership/supporters.
   2. Pursue a role as a lobby group. That is, getting OSM on the radar of
   large organisations.
   3. Proactive outreach to businesses, organisations and academia to show
   them a front door to using and contributing to OSM.
   4. Enhance / nurture the Talent Directory.
   5. Help shape tagging guidelines.
   6. Develop guidelines to work out when OSM UK should and should not
   support a mechanical edit / data import.
   7. A micro-grant programme to support those who want to help us grow the
   community via talks, workshops, etc.
   8. Focus on map fixes (e.g. a quarterly project on Notes, Fixmes).
   9. Assist with conflating TfL Cycle Infrastructure Data into OSM

Thank you,
*Rob*
