Hi everyone
My view on this Association stuff is:
- I don't really want an association. I can perfectly map without it an
everything... Except, when it comes to communication with companies,
organizations and government entities. For me, that is the main
advantage of having an organization. Being visible as a group and giving
the others something to deal with, other than the single mapper.
- We are not lawyers, at least it doesn't seem to have one on this
mailinglist. I favor the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Legal
battles are not fun an if it gets to that stage, I will have jumped the
ship for sure. Mapping is fun, I can still do that.
In short: If this template is any good, no need to turn each word
over twice for me. Just gives a lot of work an hatred.
- Keep the association as light as possible. Openstreetmap lives from
people actually doing something. The association will probably follow
the same lead.
So what are your views on the association, It's not clear to me from the
E-Mails on the list what everyones opinions are on why we need an
association and hat they want it to provide.
Have a nice evening
