Dear SOSM and and community members
The 2015 annual general meeting will take place, as previously
announced, on Saturday the 18th April in Biel-Bienne (actually the
location is in Nidau), at 11:00.
The venue will be the Lago Lodge, which is roughly 700m from the Biel
main station: http://www.lagolodge.ch/
As always we will have the short formal part before lunch and after
lunch go out and map a bit.
Naturally all interested parties are welcome to the lunch and mapping
party. It would be helpful if however both the SOSM members and others
would indicate if they intend to come by mail to info(a)sosm.ch , we have
limited space and need to inform the venue roughly how many participants
we are expecting.
A further note: the board is actively looking for more members to step
up and help with board matters, particularly members from the French and
Italian speaking regions of Switzerland. The board meets per voice
conference once per month (mumble) and most of the time the work load is
light. If you want to help spreading the word on OSM, please contact me
directly.
The formal agenda for the AGM will be published early April.
Looking forward to meeting you in Biel.
Simon

Liebe SOSM und Community Mitglieder
Die jährliche Generalversammlung der SOSM wird 2015, wie schon
angekündigt in Biel-Bienne stattfinden, genau gesagt eigentlich in
Nidau, um 11:00.
Der Veranstaltungsort ist die Lago Lodge, ungefähr 700m vom Bahnhof Biel
entfernt: http://www.lagolodge.ch/
Wie immer werden wir nach dem kurzen formellen Teil, zu Mittag essen und
dann etwas Mappen gehen.
Natürlich sind alle Interessierten zum Mittagessen und Mapping-Party
willkommen. Es wäre allerdings hilfreich wenn alle Teilnehmer uns kurz
mitteilen können ob sie beabsichtigen teilzunehmen, es hat beschränkt
Platz und wir sollten den Betreiber der Lago Lodge mindestens grob
mitteilen wie viele Leute anwesend werden.
Noch ein Hinweis: der Vorstand sucht aktiv weitere Mitglieder die im
Vorstand mithelfen, speziell solche aus der Französisch und Italienisch
sprechenden Schweiz. Der Vorstand trifft sich einmal pro Monat
elektronisch (mumble) und meistens ist die Arbeitsbelastung sehr klein.
Wenn du mithelfen willst OSM bekannter zu machen, melde dich bitte
direkt bei mir.
Die offizielle Agenda für die GV wird Anfangs April verfügbar sein.
Ich freue mich euch in Biel zu treffen.
Simon
Dear SOSM Members
We've fixed a date for this years annual general meeting, Saturday April
the 18th. In discussion the board felt that it would be nice to hold a
SOSM event once in the Ticino. However given that this substantially
increases the travel time, we would probably want to make this a two day
event (with the AGM on the Saturday). Alternatively we would likely do a
conventional AGM plus mapping party in Bienne/Biel.
Before we cast this in stone, could we get some feedback from the
membership? Particularly if you would attend an event in Ticino.
Happy mapping!
Simon
[The subject matter is only of interest for German speakers as of now]
Liebe Mitglieder,
der SOSM Vorstand wurde angefragt ob er ein Projekt an der
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt unterstützen würde bei dem es um eine
Umfrage zur Motivation von OSM-User geht. Essentiell soll die Umfrage an
einer kleinen Gruppe zuerst getestet werden, bevor eine grössere Gruppe
angegangen wird. Da es auch im Interesse des ganzen OSM Projektes ist
den Antrieb unserer Mapper besser zu verstehen, haben wir zugesagt die
Umfrage an unsere Mitglieder als Testgruppe weiterzuleiten.
Natürlich ist die Teilnahme völlig freiwillig.
Die Umfrage findet sich unter
http://www.osm2015.geomedienlabor.de/
Danke an alle die mitmachen.

Hello,
Uploaded a group photo from the State Of The Map U.S. 2013 and a photo
of the opening of the conference on the page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2013
Photos are in an HD format, 2 MB each.
It was quite a challenge to make a photo of more than 400 participants.

Hello,
The OSM map window is on the "Open Knowledge Conference 2013" website:
http://okcon.org/travel-and-accommodation/
The 2013 Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon) will take place in Geneva,
Switzerland on 17th-18th September.
The 2013 Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon) is jointly organized by the
Open Knowledge Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation Switzerland with
the support of the Swiss Federal Government, and with Lift Events as an
organizing partner.
We have conducted already two on-the-ground surveys of the area around
the CICG building (fr. Centre International de Conférence de Genève),
which is close to numerous United Nations agencies.
This area of Geneva is our priority now. We plan to make this whole
district completely addressable vie verification surveys during summer
months before the conference.
The link to the conference is placed already at the Event Calendar at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/. I would suggest to place a similar link
or even a small article at the Swiss OpenStreetMap Association website
http://sosm.ch/ and maybe some other OSM resources.
brgds
Oleksiy
