[Wikimediaindia-l] IEP Pilot - Preliminary Analysis

[Vickram Crishna]

Relax, Pradeep. The confusion/noise is only from the fact that OSM has been
a longstanding acronym for Open Street Maps, which is an important facet of
Open Knowledge Culture. To be very frank, I was completely unaware of the
term OSM for Open Source Movement, and also read Tory's acronym as Open
Street Maps, and while being very pleased to learn that Sudhanwa was a
contributor to it, was confused in equal measure by (what I assumed was)
his shyness to being identified with Wikimedia.
