Suomi (Finland)

Is this a top-level category or a subcategory?

Subcategory, below the Communities section.

Description of its purpose and which open mapping groups it will serve

The purpose is to the serve the Finnish OSM community.

Why is this new category needed instead of being hosted as part of the existing ones?

The subcategory would consolidate the topics concerning Finland for more practical focus.

Is this a new space or does it already exist on other platforms? Where?

It exist already in the old forum: users: Finland / OpenStreetMap Forum

Current volume of messages on the former platforms, if any (per week/per month)

The current volume of messages naturally shift but it on weekly basis. The message can be counted from the forum if anyone so wishes.

Is there a transition plan for the old platform to this new one? (please link or describe)

Ideally the old messages could transition to the new one, who will be responsible and how it would be done hasnt been decided.

(Optional) A link or list of the category specific guidelines

OSM Etiquette Guidelines FAQ - OpenStreetMap Community will apply.

Thanks for the request.

Once the the proposed moderators comment here they are OK with the role, and as per the current Moderation Selection Criteria, 5 days of community discussion will take place here (always including weekend days) and then a voting poll to validate the list by the community will be open for another 5 days too.

Thanks again!

Thanks,

Since 3 mods have already commented, while we wait for @ssundell to reply and as per the current Moderation Selection Criteria, now the community has 5 days (that must include weekend days) to discuss about this proposal.

After that a voting poll will be opened for another 5 days to validate the list.

Cheers.

Why we don’t have this subcategory already? :thinking: Let’s create it? I have lots of topics to discuss. E.g. next OSM Finland event.

Hello again everyone,

Five days have passed for the community discussion so now a voting poll is opened for another five days (plus weekend days) to validate the final list.

The list will be validated if it gets at least 80% of yes votes. Note that votes (who voted what) are public to help identify any abuses.

Thanks!
