[Talk-us] Statistics of board candidate edits

[Charlotte Wolter]

Everyone,

         It seems to me that the candidates in question have 
excellent qualifications for the
OSM board.
         All have experience in GIS, in the private or public sector, 
and some have management
experience, something OSM really needs. Also, all have editing 
experience with OSM, whether
in the United States or outside.
         I think quibbling about the volume of edits misses the 
point. OSM needs strong organizational
leadership. No matter who one votes for, that should be the central issue.
