Getting feedback
- Adding questions about Code of Conduct before we send

Campaign for signup to OSM US and OSMF
- Who got the signup sheets?
- They're probably somewhere. Ask Anthony
Photographs
- Had a phone call, didn't concede that the photo was bad
- Asked for 30% off
- Focused on the group picture, but they're all subpar for a semi-professional
- Future: we should get samples during the conference
- Future: we should be very clear to the future person that they need to make sure the photos work
- Future: encourage people that are holding mapathons that they should take photos and send 'em in
Budget
- What'd we spend? What we haven't?
- $191,000 in cash
- What should we do with it? Hire people? Scholarships?
- Let's do meaningful grass roots support for July 11th mapathon
Next meeting we should talk about:
- Code of conduct
- Feedback from form
- Money
Open up the Slack channel
- Get people to join
Twitter @openstreetmapus
- Alyssa should continue using Twitter via @openstreetmapus
- @sotmus account shot up a bunch during State of the Map US
Maptime
- Maptime has an HQ where comms happens in and out
- Encourage local groups to sign up for our Slack
- We should work directly with Maptime to connect closer with OSM
- We could work on Maptime tutorials that are specific to OSM
Financials
- We should move forward with the newer book keeping; Will Huber might not be full time
- We're going to ask Will if he's still available and agree to use his services
