Craig Allan
Current Chair of the Board of the OSM Foundation. Previously Secretary and before that an ordinary Board member. I came to OSM through my work as an Urban and Regional Planner and have been working with GIS and mapping systems since the 1980s. I also have a computer techie background and a love of Free and Open Source Software. I live in Africa and mostly I map in Africa. I have a special interest in mapping previously un-mapped places in Somalia, the DRC and Chad. Nothing makes me happier than putting a village on the map.

Session
During the OpenStreetMap Foundation Board Ask Us Anything (i.e. AMA) session, we will take questions from the audience oand/or more questions that the larger community can submit before the event. We can discuss the board's past actions and our future plans.
Let’s have a conversation about the Foundation and the Board and how all the parts work together. If you know nothing about what the board is doing, this is a chance to find out. Find out what the Foundation does and doesn’t do, what it can and can’t do. Find out how you can help and get involved. The Board is committed to openness and wants to engage with the community.
Feel free to ask us questions also outside this specific session.
