[OSM-talk] diversity amongst DWG members

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

Following the discussion on the infamous french Cadastre '"imports"',
I've tried to find the country of living of the DWG members (according
to http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group):
  Matt Amos (OSMF Board) ; Matt ; UK
  Tom Hughes ; TomH ; UK
  Paul Norman ; pnorman ; near Vancouver, Canada
  Frederik Ramm ; ? ; Germany
  Henning Scholland ; ? ; Germany?
  Grant Slater ; ? ; UK
  Dave Stubbs ; randomjunk ; UK
  Richard Weait ; rw__ ; Toronto, Canada

So, it seems that only three countries are represented, that half of the
members are UK residents, and that 6 out of the 8 members are native
english speakers, the other two being native german speakers.

Are there plans to increase diversity amongst members of the DWG?
It would certainly be helpful if more local communities would have one
of their members amongst the DWG members.
