<p>Hi again (sorry for the 2 messages),</p>
<p>I am cautious but HOT seems to have evolved in regards to Tyler
Radfords talk (in Graeme reference), so lets not be too negative,
I am looking forward to know more about this hub in the future, </p>
<p>Have a great day,<br>
</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>And thanks Graeme for sharing this. I would also be cautious
about this hub. The intention is obviously good, building a
space where anyone interesting in OSM would join the hub. But my
concern is what is the role of HOT into this.<br>
</p>
<p>HOT has been criticized a lot when making money on a community
when it started to be an organization. It was not clear if
projects were made by HOT as a community (originally HOT was a
part of OSM community) or by HOT as the NGO (with paid staff,
paid projects, projects responding to UN/global needs ..). Now
they reshaped their website and it's much more clear. Hope they
are not repeating it here. Having an OSM / Open Mapping hub is
great, but I would be careful about the governance. Who takes
the decision? What is the space for openmapping communities at
decision levels? <br>
</p>
<p>Hope this initiative is built in an inclusive way on all
levels,<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Violaine<br>

<div>Hi Graeme, I understand this new Asia Pacific hub is
inclusive of Oceania. OSM Fiji is currently undertaking a
community building project with HOT's support and the AP hub
is one of the contact points.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I'm super supportive, I think a thriving open
geospatial community will be made up of many communities
with overlaps, and many players contributing in their own
ways. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I often think about the Philippines open mapping
community and how multiple loosely-connected orgs contribute
to a real buzz, in a way that a single top-down/catch-all
org may not be able to.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It will be interesting to see how the HOT project
progresses in this region over the next few years...<br>

<div>Wondering how "Open Mapping Hub- Asia Pacific" may be
going to match up with OSGeo Oceania & OSM Oceania?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would appear that they may be going to stop at
Philippines / Indonesia so potentially no overlap,
although "Asia Pacific" possibly does suggest otherwise?</div>
