Data projects
New data layer included into iD and JOSM - cadastral parcels for the UK)
Addresses copyright of the Post Office. Groups have tried to jailbreak address data and make it usable, but failed. OSM is going to succeed. Using open build data tricks - cadastral data and crowdsourcing. OSM is the dripping tap (keeps going and will succeed)
1- Community building: everyone is now on a Telegram channel: collateral impact of COVID-19 pandemic
2- Documentation: the OSM wiki is the place to write good practices, ongoing projects, etc. The wiki is now quite complete and updated for Portugal
3- Partnerships: National Statistics Agency opened the addresses list. A major effort is going on to update OSM with the addresses. INE is willing to receive the feedback from the OSM.
4- Partnerships: Municipality of Águeda adopt a workflow that updates OSM
5- Partnerships: Next week we will have a joint meeting (Portugal and Spain) with our National Mapping Agencies to talk about collaboration
IT community very active in mapping
lots of different groups, either regional or specific groups interdependently organizing activities
Priotising infrastruicture for the community:
developed and updated the tasking manager (IT): [https://osmit-tm4.wmcloud.org/](https://osmit-tm4.wmcloud.org/)
Priorities for next year in terms of infastructure:
OSMAnd? OSMCha new functionalities requested by the community
Newborn group dedicated to D&I in the IT community (open for anyone) to develop a more welcoming community
Different thematic groups evolving in the iT community to focus on different parts of OSM (just like the WG of OSMF but on a national level)
-Convention/agreements between Wikimedia Italy and institutions: CAI (National Alpine Club) or AIGAE (National Association for Environmental Hiking Guides)
In 2022, hosting in Florence the international FOSS4G! And MAYBE SotM too :)

You can add an area that is as big as your country or just your city. It really depends on how big you want to go!
You can find your country's flag here: https://getemoji.com/
You can also add any translations that are not yet in the tool.

Hoping for a new microgrant programme in 2022 (dependent on funding)
Idea of corporate funding for MG programmes (tangible reporting on where the money went)
Idea that better public celebration of MG projects might mean that more OSM community members value and support the initiative
Attendees: Ribin, David, Arnalie, Sawan, Mikko, Can, Fazle, Jez, Miquel, Atik, Ruben, Elaine, Andres,
Notes:
Ribin: how do communities communicate online? which channels to use? open source? privacy?
Arnalie: depending what channels are accessible for the communities
Fazle: in Bangladesh, opensource is not accessible
Mikko: depending really, sometimes the platform is inaccessible because it is not userfriendly
Ribin: it looks like we are having 2 groups because of the divide (pro privacy and what is accessible)
Can: In Turkey, it's improving and many people are learning about OSM. Preferred way of communication is changing and varying. Multiple channels can work esp for async collaboration
Arnalie: Community channels: [https://openstreetmap.community/](https://openstreetmap.community/)
Jez: in UK, some is resistant to change and trying new channels/tools. instead of worrying how many people are not participating, but how many people have been put off. more prefer mailing list
Ribin: Mailing list in Bangladesh, lesser responses. A challenge for us, not a lot of people check their email. We are trying multiple platforms just to see and check
David: Uganda and OSM Africa, we push for opensource tools but most of comms still happening in what people use eg whatsapp. Mailing list not used. What the community uses and most comfortable with
Fazle: looking into bridges and bots to make sure one thing goes to all platform. 😪 but I really hope that people would move to more privacy focused alternative
Mikko: Engaging newbie after a mapathon is challenging...
Can: Generally newbies (university student groups etc.) prefer Whatsapp mostly, and people already part of the FOSS communities might be preferring something else completely, and not have Whatsapp installed.
Bridges can work in a way to make these… …groups meet. At the expense of privacy a bit maybe. But…
Arnalie: try https://matrix.to/
Ruben: Asynchronous, forum-type - Discourse https://www.discourse.org/
Jez: The USA Slack channel seems to work quite well…lots of participants, lots of conversations
Janet remote mappers use Slack, mappers inside Tanzania use WhatsApp mostly, some overlap but connectivity is an issue in rural Tanzania.

Humanitarian Open Mapping Community WG Forum: bit.ly/communitywgforum
Board: [https://jamboard.google.com/d/1iawqVqPCE6a5KFb\_MtAp-77CDiexF9HLv1bVocKY4mY/viewer?f=0](https://jamboard.google.com/d/1iawqVqPCE6a5KFb\_MtAp-77CDiexF9HLv1bVocKY4mY/viewer?f=0)
Themes:
1. Identifying local community issues
Creating a safe space to map - eg lagging complaints
Vocal segment of community doesn't want the Foundation to become big, like Wikimedia Foundation
Italy, Belgium, and Germany local chapters have larger organisations (Wikimedia Italia, Open Knowledge Belgium, FOSSGIS e.V.), this is still a problem around having a larger organisation
Wikimedia Italia is paying for work such as training, software development, etc.
OSMUK is has a Talent Board
OSM Italia coordinates work among OSM volunteers
OSMBE also has something similar to OSMUK. Third party organisations also approach Open Knowledge Belgium to contract them for work.
A company has approached OSMUK. Maybe the Foundation can do a lot of this coordination work.
The gov committee in the US started as very much education and sharing and is now turning into collaboration.
In DRC the national geographic data platform has been pretty inactive. So, data is first created in OSM but then the license issue gets really complicated…
In 2012 the DRC platform adopted odbl so it's compatible with OSM, but there is no public domain policy in DRC and so it's hard to get data back into institutions. Block is that they cannot merge with other internal data without sharing it and that's not feasible
There were working groups around gov and institutional data needs / use but it came to an end. Hoping to revive it soon…
In the US institutions have data sharing / public domain policies so it isn't so down to personal motivation and energy (it's more built in / standardised than in DRC).
OSM US / gov collabs…
where should we post recordings
what went well?
what would we change?
