DESCRIPTION:This session is the founding General Assembly of the OpenStreet
 Map Africa association. Some background:\n\n- OSM Africa\, as it currently
  stands\, is great\, however\, it will be very difficult for us to have a 
 significant and organized impact on the state of business on the continent
 . Our strong current activity is the #SOTMAfrica conference currently bein
 g organized.\n\n- The biggest challenge for OSM Africa at the moment is th
 e absence of a dedicated steering committee\, committed to driving the ide
 as discussed. What we have now is a kind of ad hoc committee\, making thin
 gs work. We don't think this is sustainable.\n\n- A Constitutive General A
 ssembly should enable a Committee to be set up to take this idea forward w
 ith a roadmap so that activities can start in 2024.
