implementing ways for the Foundation to support the growth of local communities and potentially encourage established communities to further organise themselves and eventually formally affiliate with the Foundation as one of its <a href="/wiki/Local_Chapters" title="Local Chapters">Local Chapters</a>. Aside from that, the LCCWG will also facilitate a global exchange of ideas and support among Local Chapters and communities and review and suggest improvements to the Local Chapters affiliation scheme. </p><p>OpenStreetMap is a global project and mappers are self-organising at the local level to collaborate with each other and to hold events such as workshops, mapathons, and mapping parties. As an organisation with a global mission, the Foundation may not always be best placed to reach and support such mappers, especially people speaking in languages other than English. This is the reason why the Foundation set up the Local Chapters Working Group in 2011 to formulate an affiliation scheme to recognise Local Chapters. This task was finally done in August 2014 when the Board <a href="/wiki/Board_Meeting_Minutes_2014-08-05#1._Local_Chapters_Agreement" title="Board Meeting Minutes 2014-08-05">approved</a> the <a href="/wiki/Local_Chapters/Template_agreement" title="Local Chapters/Template agreement">template agreement</a> that is signed between recognised Local Chapters and the Foundation, and the working group then became inactive. </p><p>Since then, several Local Chapters have been approved by the Foundation and some interested OSMF members have reconvened (pivotally, during State of the Map 2018) with the intention of restarting the working group as the Local Chapters and Communities Working Group. Regular meetings started in September 2019 and the Board <a href="/wiki/Board/Minutes/2019-12#2019.2FRes31_Approve_relaunch_of_LCWG_as_LCCWG_with_new_mission_statement" title="Board/Minutes/2019-12">approved the relaunch</a> of the LCCWG as an official Foundation working group. </p><p><br /> </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Focus_items">Focus items</span></h2> <p>The following are the three focus items that the working group will concentrate on: </p> <table class="wikitable" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <th width="33%">Building local community cohesion </th> <th width="33%">Facilitating a global exchange of ideas </th> <th width="33%">Improving the Local Chapters affiliation scheme </th></tr> <tr> <td valign="top">We will explore and develop ideas for the Foundation support the growth of Local Chapters and local communities, including helping mappers communicate or meet up with other local mappers, and working to reduce the challenges created by the fragmented nature of OSM. </td> <td valign="top">We will aim to provide Local Chapters and local communities with venues and communication channels to exchange ideas and share best practices in growing their communities. This may include reviving/managing the local-chapters mailing list and organizing sessions like the Local Chapters Congress during State of the Map or other events. </td> <td valign="top">We will review the role of Local Chapters within the Foundation and the interactions between them. Based on our findings we will make recommendations to the Board as to how the affiliation scheme can be improved to provide a stronger case for local communities to eventually become Local Chapters, or possibly suggest creating new affiliation models such as less-formal user groups. </td></tr></tbody></table> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Who_we_are">Who we are</span></h2> <p>The current members of the working group are the following people: </p> <table class="wikitable" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <th>Name </th> <th> </th> <th>Local community </th> <th>Remarks </th></tr> <tr> <td>Muluba Bienvenu </td> <td>🇨🇩 </td> <td>OpenStreetMap RDC* </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Maggie Cawley </td> <td>🇺🇸 </td> <td>OpenStreetMap US* </td> <td>OSM US Executive Director </td></tr> <tr> <td>Nicholas Chavent </td> <td> </td> <td>Francophonie community </td> <td>HOT founding member </td></tr> <tr> <td>Charles Chilufya </td> <td>🇿🇲 </td> <td>Zambia local community </td> <td>Local Knowledge Mappers chairperson and co-founder </td></tr> <tr> <td>Naveen Francis </td> <td>🇮🇳 </td> <td>India local community </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Besfort Guri </td> <td>🇽🇰 </td> <td>FLOSSK* (OSM Kosovo) </td> <td>FLOSSK Board member and <a href="/wiki/Advisory_Board" title="Advisory Board">OSMF Advisory Board member</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Adam Hoyle </td> <td>🇬🇧 </td> <td>OpenStreetMap United Kingdom* </td> <td>OSM UK Director </td></tr> <tr> <td>Geoffrey Kateregga </td> <td>🇺🇬 </td> <td>OpenStreetMap Uganda </td> <td>OSM UG Chair, HOT East Africa Hub Community Manager, and OSMF Microgrants Committee member </td></tr> <tr> <td>Anisa Kuci </td> <td>🇮🇹 </td> <td>Wikimedia Italia* </td> <td>OSM project manager </td></tr> <tr> <td>Jorge Gustavo Rocha </td> <td>🇵🇹 </td> <td>OSGeo Portugal </td> <td>OSGeo Portugal President </td></tr> <tr> <td>Joost Schouppe </td> <td>🇧🇪 </td> <td>OpenStreetMap Belgium* </td> <td>OSMBE Board member </td></tr> <tr> <td>Patrick Stählin </td> <td>🇨🇭 </td> <td>Swiss OpenStreetMap Association* </td> <td>SOSM Board member and <a href="/wiki/Advisory_Board" title="Advisory Board">OSMF Advisory Board member</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Arnalie Vicario </td> <td>🇵🇭 </td> <td>Philippines local community </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Eugene Alvin Villar </td> <td>🇵🇭 </td> <td>Philippines local community </td> <td> </td></tr></tbody></table> <dl><dd><i>* Local Chapter</i></dd></dl> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Former_working_group_members">Former working group members</span></h3> <p>The following were members of either the original Local Chapters Working Group or the current one.
