Wardley Maps Foundation

For community volunteers:

In these regular workshops we'll discuss how we can improve the Wardley Maps community and create a Foundation (non-profit) that is focused on educating the public on mapping competitive landscapes.

Over time we'll look at:

• What the community's needs are
• How they're currently being met (and what's going unmet)
• How the community is organised
• What the foundation would do
• How the foundation would be structured
• How the foundation would be funded

We'll aim to make improvements to the community as we go. Setting up a Foundation will take time, and it's important to get value out of our effort in the short term.

Broad areas of focus:

1. create, maintain, share and support open repositories of knowledge that are free to use
2. encourage and facilitate research to advance public knowledge
3. facilitate the creation of open training materials and public education programmes.
4. facilitate the hosting of events focused on educating the public and sharing knowledge.
5. encourage and facilitate the creation of open standards and tooling that improve the state of mapping.
6. support the growth of an international community of people and organisations that share the values
