Hi there,

I will be there and hope to have some interesting discussions about OSM there as well. I consider myself to belong to both, the Open Data and OSM community (though not "official" of any kind).
Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers of the coming federal open data portal (opendata.admin.ch), which has it's launch event at the OKCon on Monday 16th Sept.

I think it's not an issue between opendata.ch and OSM but rather between OKFN and OSM in general! 

When searching the web or looking for search results in the blog of the OKFN website [1] I don't find much relationship.  There's at least a category wit one entry :-) [2]. To be fair, I think, one has to understand that OKFN and opendata.ch both are (currently) focussing on OpenGovernementData.

One the other hand, I didn't find no activities in OSMF since 2009 [3]!? But what I found there sounds interesting:

What about refreshing issues at the intl. level (OSMF=>OKFN) and I could do something at the national level (OSM=>opendata.ch)?

Yours, Stefan

A courageous statement!

Thank you for your clear opinion.

Nevertheless I hope, that the various FOSS related projects and
organizations respect each other and cooperate as equal partners if for
the good at large here in Switzerland.

Cheeeers,
Andreas
