[Talk-us] OSM Data Quality

[Martijn van Exel]

Agreed that social features will be increasingly important to get and keep
more people engaged with OSM, and forge better intra-community ties, as we
continue to grow at increased pace. We will be discussing social features
in OSM at SOTM US extensively, there is a lot of ideas around this and
there is momentum to start working on implementing some of them. I will
summarize some of these ideas in my talk on data driven communities on
Sunday afternoon. Hopefully to be followed by some actual work on this on
the sprint days following.

slides and video to be posted post factum.
