Key takeaway / priority action: we are assigning team roles and signing up. Please sign up for the team/s that you are interested in thru the notes, from row 1 to 39: OSMF Affiliation Models brainstorming - HackMD

ORIGINAL POST

Dear community,

Following the various consultations and discussion sessions about the OSMF Affiliation Models, the LCCWG has decided to convene a sub-committee to advance this agenda.

Goal

Provide recommendations to the Board as to how the OSMF affiliation scheme can be improved to accommodate less-formal user groups (ie unregistered local communities) and non-geographical/thematic groups.

Overview of the duties/skills we are looking for:

Research, review, and writing a proposal:

  • Review affiliation models of other open communities to learn from them and how we can adopt or iterate for the OSMF
  • Work on differences and similarities of different types of affiliation (Local Chapters, informal communities, and orgs with some commercial activities), and their benefits, rights, obligations, etc

Coordination and facilitation:

  • Coordinate with LCCWG and LWG regarding legal rights (eg trademarks granting and usage for non-registered organizations)
  • Conduct and facilitate discussions session in at least 2 timezones and/or possible in different languages with 1) communities - informal and non-registered org and 2) with formally registered orgs (FPOSM, YOuthmappers, etc)

Time Commitment

We ask for a minimum of 2hours per month until January 2025. Else, it is up to your discretion how you want to participate in this subcommittee.

Timeline

It is open-ended and no strict timeline for the sub-committee.

With this, LCCWG is looking for volunteers to help us improve the OSMF Affiliation Model/scheme.

Are you interested?

Please comment on this thread or email local[at]osmfoundation.org if you have time and are happy to help! :slight_smile:

I thought I received a Discourse notification for every new reply on this thread. Turns out there were none, and I had to manually scroll down to see them.

To ensure the notice above is seen, I’ll manually mention all participants in this thread. This should trigger their notification tabs for sure.

Here we go : @Minha_Mahroof @KASOZI_DENIS @Brazil_Singh @PRISCOVIA12 @Levis_Ruto @Siaosi_Lutui @BIENVENU_DJIKOLOUM @Raquel_Dezidério_Souto @Md_Atikuzzaman_Limon @Mouonnibe

Oh no…
