Minutes from 13 April 2022
attendees (6): tb, treestryder, th, ChristopherGS, tuttiton
what are we working on
- Treestryder's free access to meet is going away; we are moving to a rotating host meeting style. We'll have people volunteer to host specific meetings. It can be on any platform, but goal should be to have something that is platform agnostic and doesn't require software registration if possible.
- In person meetings? Online meetings are convenient allow lots of people to join, in person meetings are fun. Maybe try in person a few times a year, but keep online for the majority of meetings. Potential meeting location: Dime's in Dimondale (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/593549435)
- th, is working on parks in Ohio. Trail recommendations: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Michigan#Paths_.2F_Trails
- What are we using for traces? Columbus p-1, Garmin etrex 30, newer version: Columbus P-10 Pro Professional HD GNSS Data Logger https://cbgps.com/p10/index_en.htm

reminder: use the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Michigan
what is best practice:
People have different uses and collect different information Use the Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Michigan OpenDataKit: is a survey tool and has been adapted for OSM data collection discord: https://discord.gg/openstreetmap slack: https://slack.openstreetmap.us/ If you found a large number of issues and can categorize them, you could upload them programmatically from your fly through to Maproulette to review and create a task or set of tasks to coordinate improvements. https://maproulette.org/
