Nakaner was the only moderator in the old forum, so i offered my support as moderator for the new one for the exact reason you mentioned. I asked, but until now nobody stepped up and offered to take a moderator role, unfortunately. If someone else is announcing his support as moderator, i will write another post here and edit the first post, of course.
It seems we like to discuss but it looks like we are able to manage ourself quite well without much need for intervention.
Appreciate your information, but we purposeful decided not to use the OSM Etiquette (currently). After the switch is done we might discuss it again
If there is a need for a third moderator, I’m always happy to offer my assistance.
In case it’s okay for the other two? @Negreheb & @Nakaner
I’ve only been really active in OSM for just under two years, but at least these two years I’ve been very active IMO. A few years ago I was already a moderator of a few web forums and Facebook groups.
Double-checking the selection criteria, all of the contestants meet the requirements and appear to be able to take on the responsibilities. Speaking on my own behalf only, as a mapper from the area and participant in the local forum.
Looking at the other categories, we could also go for “Österreich (Austria)” for the name. Can we set the community-icon ourself? If yes, i would go and choose the one from the austrian club https://www.openstreetmap.at/ (Already discussed with the head of the club as well)
The subcategory was just created. I just noticed the name “Austria”. Would the Austrian community agree to adapt the prevailing naming scheme (in this case “Österreich (Austria)”)? Just an idea to make things more readable for those not able to read English.
