[OSM-talk] Local Chapter Working Group Update - Looking for Volunteers

[Nick Black]

Hello,
The Local Chapters Working Group is looking for volunteers to help drive the
local chapters process through to completion.  Since late last year the
group has been working to set up local OSM-F chapters that will represent
the OSM-F in local territories.  Local Chapters give local OSM groups the
opportunity to officially represent the OSM-F: they can use the OSM logos
and web domains and officially represent the OSM-F to companies, governments
and media.

You can find out more about Local Chapters here:

The next phase of work for the Local Chapters Group will involve opening
more discussions with potential local leaders and members.  We want to make
sure that the Local chapters work to help the people on the ground organize
mapping and OpenStreetMap activities more effectively.  To carry this out,
we need help from some volunteers who can dedicate 2-4 hours a week over the
next 6 weeks to get in touch with potential local leaders and members.

If can offer you time to call, email and  engage in dialogue with OSMers
around the world, and then work with the Local Chapters Group to refine the
current draft, please get in touch with me (nick at osmfoundation.org).

If you are a local leader or community member who's been in contact with me
or the Local Chapters group recently - we'll be getting back in touch soon.
 If you have not had a chance to give you opinion, or if you have any more
questions, please get in touch.

The latest working draft of the Federation agreement is here:
