UmbraOSM's application for Local Chapter status

Dear community!

During the last LCCWG meeting in November, we decided to reject the application of Umbra OSM to become a Local Chapter.

Based on LCCWG’s review of the application, it was found out that:

There are formal deficiencies in the submitted documents, the LCCWG did not receive all the required documents.

  1. UmbraOSM’s application failed to gather unanimous support from the local community consultation in the Community Forum, and during the individual consultations with community representatives at the LCCWG meeting.

Suggested next steps:

  1. UmbraOSM to submit the required documents, including Financial Report
  2. UmbraOSM may want to reapply for the use of OSM trademark in their organizational name, directly to the Board and LWG
  3. OSM Brazil community to work together to try and come up with a resolution to the internal community conflicts, and can reapply again as a Local Chapter

For my part, I would like to add that such a vibrant community should have a Local Chapter representative and I will be happy to help in this process. I am available and happy to answer any questions.

Hi, @Cristoffs
Why the status of this candidacy is as “active” in the OSMF page, if it was rejected in the last year?
Thank you for your attention.

Sorry I didn’t know about the rejection, and I was hopping it was rejected based in all discussed in the last application, but why the application wasn’t updated?

The topic is still blocked without any decision been written on it.

Caros colegas,

Para resolver essa questão, compartilhei o link deste tópico lá.

@Cristoffs Gostaria de solicitar a atualização das informações na candidatura. Apesar de ser uma questão burocrática, peço especial atenção para que o assunto não se estenda na comunidade, a fim de evitar a reativação de possíveis conflitos entre os membros.

Até engracado chamar de questão burocrática.
Por favor, não me marque ou as minhas mensagens para falar com terceiros.

Oi, Everton,

Peço que retire a marcação que fez à minha resposta na sua mensagem, para nâo associar meu nome ao que você comentou, do seu “medo de reativar conflitos na comunidade”…

O Schenkel fez o mesmo questionento, mas você resolveu me marcar.

Passivo agressividade e insinuações também nâo são bem-vindas. Podemos manter algum nível de civilidade aqui.

You are not tagged in the message above. Where is the tagging you wanted removed?

That’s a quote of you, not a mention. Quoting a message from earlier in a thread is normal behavior and to be expected.

Hello,

Obviously, anyone can reply and use fragments of other people’s posts. I’d have to be pretty stupid to not understand that.

What’s not normal is to associate someone with something negative. The comment was completely unnecessary. It would have been enough to ask them to change the status of the LC application because it was a decision of the LCCWG , that reflected the negative response of Brazilian people to the community consultation.

But, OK, I understand how it works around here. “It must have been a misunderstanding”…

I’m leaving the debate and I really didn’t expect the coleague removes the reference to me in your message. I’ve seen the same behavior with others and it doesn’t look like it’s going to change.

But the most important thing remains to be seen: what happened that the status of Umbraosm’s candidacy is still active, even after the LCCWG’s unanimous decision to reject it? And only FYI, I attended the same meeting that decided this in the last year

Cordially,

(translated with Deepl)

Thank you for close this application.
