I should clarify: I don’t mean just material code contributions but other contributions too, like monetary, data, being receptive to the community about contributions offered and such. Respecting the ethos is more in line with what I’m talking about
It’s a tussle, because I personally came away that the ethos of the community isn’t being respected and the fear is they’ll overrun the mission of the organization.
It’s complicated and nuanced to be sure., which is why I amended my original comment
- kevinventullo 6y agoIn my experience, it’s not even the ethos of the whole community, it’s the ethos of a few old guard European dudes. Ask nearly any mapper from say Southeast Asia what they think of corporate contributions and I think you get a different answer.
- Doctor_Fegg 6y agoThere’s some truth in that, but famously the first corporate mapping flare-up in OSM was when Facebook utterly screwed up Thailand.
