I mean, #OpenStreetMap and #OpenStreetMapFoundation has problems, but c'mon, at least we're not as bad as #Wikipedia
SeverinGeo*Governança do OSM 2/2*
Outro fato interessante: @FOSSGISeV também oferece serviços. A A3C, a filial local da #OSMF na Colômbia desde o mês passado, apresenta essas mesmas características: taxas elevadas e serviços profissionais relacionados ao #openstreetmap. Será uma coincidência ou uma certa lógica para membros que são, em sua maioria, profissionais? Mais uma vez, @osm_fr optou por excluir serviços de suas atividades para uma #governança clara

*OSM Governance 2/2*
Another interesting fact: @FOSSGISeV also offers service activities. A3C, the local #OSMF chapter in Colombia since last month, exhibits these same characteristics: high fees and professional services related to #openstreetmap. A coincidence, or a certain logic for members who are primarily professionals? Once again, @osm_fr has chosen to exclude services from its activities for clear #governance

*Gouvernance OSM 2/2*
Autre fait intéressant : @FOSSGISeV propose aussi activités de services. A3C, chapitre local #OSMF en Colombie depuis mois dernier présente ces mêmes traits : frais élevés et services liés à #openstreetmap. Une coïncidence ou une certaine logique pour des membres qui seraient surtout des professionnels ? Là encore, @osm_fr a fait le choix d’exclure les services de ses activités. #gouvernance

*Governança*
Uma fundação @panoramax será criada, sinal da maturidade do projeto e da construção de seu futuro com menor financiamento do IGN e a abertura de outras instâncias.
Além disso, o mobileGEO aponta a falta de clareza na tomada de decisões dentro do Operations WG #osmf. Essa governança reduzida a alguns indivíduos: na verdade, isso vale para todos os WGs da OSMF, conduzidos por pequenos grupos cooptados, às vezes há muitos anos. Curiosamente, raramente comentado na #osm.

*Governance*
A @panoramax foundation is set to be created, a sign of the project’s maturity and the shaping of its future with reduced IGN funding and the creation of other instances.
Furthermore, mobileGEO points out the lack of clarity in decision-making within the #osmf Operations WG. This governance is effectively reduced to a few individuals: in fact, this is true of all #osmf WGs, run by small, co-opted groups, sometimes for many years. Curiously, this is rarely discussed in #osm

Une fondation @panoramax va être créée, signe de la maturité du projet et de la mise en place de son futur avec un moindre financement IGN et l’ouverture d’autres instances.
Par ailleurs, mobileGEO pointe la manque de clarté de la prise de décision au sein du Operations WG #osmf. Cette gouvernance ramenée à quelques individus : en fait vrai de tous les WG de #osmf tenus par de petits groupes cooptés, parfois depuis un paquet d’années. Curieusement rarement commenté dans #osm

The #OGC seeking public comments on whether the #GERS (Global Entity Reference System) Framework and Model by the #OvertureMapsFoundation (#OMF) should become an OGC Community Standard sparks a broader debate about global identifiers and governance of key data infrastructure assets.
