[OSM-talk] Community Conference

[Christine Karch]

Hi all,

OpenStreetMap has not only an immense worth in its data. It is also the
international and worldwide community which is a real treasure. The
working together and all other aspects, I don't need to tell you ...

And as data are located in database and we nurse our database,
we must take care of our SOTMs (and all the other community meetings).
Our worldwide international SOTM is the heart of this. It is a community
SOTM and should stay. Maybe we invite business (why not, there are good
reasons for the community to connect with) and we also know the worth of
OSM tool development and we want to hear about the newest things at
SOTM. But nevertheless SOTM is an important place where community meets!

By the way this is what I work for at SOTM WG and also the reason I
joined it. And it was the spirit of SOTM-EU in Karlsruhe (thank you
Richard for your acclamation).
