Hi Micheal to what was said in the other answers I add some considerations: - if the supporters of OpenStreetMap decide to be recognized by the Wikimedia chapter, then they must also be active inside the chapter, otherwise the results will be poor - the Wikimedia chapters are very focused on the Wikimedia Foundation products (wikipedia, wikidata, commons ...) so the energies should be divided into measures proportional to the various objectives (and OSM must be one of these) - it is very difficult to focus activities effectively if you do not have the support of an active community - it is very important to create actions of dissemination and contamination among the members so as to know all the products that the association promotes
I was one of the promoters of the approach of the Italian OSM community in Wikimedia Italia. The association has always shown itself to support the initiative. However, I think it is crucial that openstreetmap activists feel they are an integral part of the association in order to achieve tangible results. _______________________________________________ Talk-it mailing list Talk-it@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-it
