Why do you think the only strategic planning that can be done is that
which you are trying to coerce people into supporting based on what
you'd like to see mapped?
How about instead focusing on supporting mappers, rather than trying
to direct their activities, for example does servers need to be
upgraded or does capacity increased to support other actives like the
routing Nic is doing...
Are there more cool things OSM could be show casing if there was more
hardware available?
That sort of thing...
