A number of you may remember the discussion about founding a Swiss OpenStreetMap association from last year, at the time I didn't follow up on the idea due to many other OSM related activities and due to the fact that nobody volunteered a meeting room.
Since the underlying motivation for creating such an organisation haven't changed and we (as in the Swiss OSM community) will have a presence at the exhibition part of GEOsummit 2012 (www.geosummit.ch) in Berne, I propose to have a founding meeting over lunch on June the 20th in Berne. Venue to be determined, but either in a restaurant in the exhibition buildings or nearby.
We have a limited number of free exhibition entrance tickets available that will be available on a first come first serve base to members of the community that want to participate in the meeting.
If you want to come, please add your name here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Swiss_OSM_Association
I will be updating the draft bylaws with some of the input from the discussion over the next couple of days. One major point missing is a good name, suggestions are welcome!

Hello,
Thanks Simon for this proposal. Unfortunately, I can't be there on the 20th in Berne (I'll be there the day before).
As a suggestion, I would like to invite any volunteer who will attend this meeting to have a look at the french "association" founded by october 2011. Even if there's in France another legal basis for "association", it gives a good idea of what can be put in the Bylaws.
You will find here bylaws and others ressources (in French): http://openstreetmap.fr/asso They also have kinds of "working group" about "technical issue", "communication", "international relations" and "territories", see here : http://openstreetmap.fr/gt
Hope it helps for the discussion next month in Berne !
Concerning a name, I would suggest something simple and straigthforward like "OpenStreetMap Switzerland". KISS... It may help for communication purposes.
Xavier

I've cleaned up the wiki page with the draft bylaws a bit: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bylaws_Swiss_OSM_Association
I've made one change since this was last discussed, I added a term (three months) in which the board must decide on admissions to the association.

Hi Simon
What's the relationship of this Association to osmfoundation.org? (I've put this question also to the discussion page of the Wiki page you are referring to below).
Yours, Stefan

I actually already investigated this last year: we would be welcome as a national chapter of the OSMF, if we so wish.
The issue is more that the bylaws of the OSMF haven't been revised yet and that in general there is no clear strategy wrt national chapters.

FischersFritz and I have made some further changes based (some of this was again already in discussion last year):
- expanded the "Zweck" clause to include "verarbeiten" (this was already present in the English version)
- added text to the "Membership" clause to handle members not in good standing
- further minor language edits and consistencies fixes

Good morning.
I live usually in canton Vaud (Bex, french speaking part of our country) but I am currently working in Bosnia. I can't make it to the meeting, but I would like to become a member and to pay a contribution. I would need an exact time for the skype video conference (we could also use gtalk, as far as I am concerned).

Cheers, Pascal

Swiss OpenStreetMap Association
