[talk-ph] Another user possibly illegal copying from GMaps

[Erwin Olario]

Today's meeting concluded positively. Please review the Paper-Cut-Fix
ticket for details. If you missed some (or all) parts of the meeting, the
recording is temporarily available in the ticket [0], and will remain
available until the ticket is resolved.

To summarize today's meeting:

   - Para Apps acknowledged the gaps in their Quality Assurance and
   on-boarding Processes
   - that their mappers (internal, and/or third-parties) utilized
   copyrighted information to add data to OSM
   - they agree to cooperate by providing us with the OSM usernames
   involved in their mapping activities, and we will ask the DWG to help purge
   these edits from OSM.

In the Telegram channel, Timmy made a suggestion: for the OSM-PH community
to offer to organize a special training session for Para Apps mappers, to
help improve the quality of their contributions, and ensure that they
comply with OSM requirements, guidelines, and community expectations.

The following people joined the meeting today (in no particular order):
Maning, Enock (from OSM Africa), Timmy, Eugene, Ian, Mikko, and myself.
Thankfully,  the Para Apps team accepted the meeting invitation, and for
co-operating with the effort.

Thank you, too, to these folks who stayed on top of this concern, and made
the OSM-PH community aware of these (and other related) issues: Jherome,
Timmy, and Ian. Kudos!

We're not done yet, but we're getting close.
