[Talk-in] OSM Local Chapters are coming. Looking for feedback.

[Mikel Maron]

Greetings. 

The OpenStreetMap Foundation is currently drawing up an agreement to set up local OSMF chapters. There has been call in several countries for official status, to represent OSMF to government and business in that particular locality. Local chapters would be expected to organize membership (though not exclusively all membership in a country) and generally promote OSM locally. More info is on Nick's blog.

I'm looking for general feedback on the proposal. There's no expectation at this time that India or any other place will start a chapter (though it would be great). But in the future, we want to insure that the terms of the agreement and general idea are good frameworks.

Best
Mikel
