 @zverik @linuxfoundation quoting myself: "It needs to be pointed out that if the OMF founders were actually doing this for the good of humanity, they could have simply open sourced their validation tool chains and financed the OSMF running them. But they didn’t." 4 comments
@zverik @linuxfoundation why would opensourcing the validation tools stop devs from Meta & co working on them?  @simon @linuxfoundation OSM is not about open source, so this requirement is pretty random. Given that virtually nobody in OSM would be able to understand or run it, so it might benefit only other corporations with a similar stack — that imo would make it worse, not better, for OSM.  |

@simon @linuxfoundation That's... wrong on so many levels. OSMF is not equipped for having developers of this scale, even managing the workforce, managing the infrastructure needed for big data processing on that scale, and many other things OMF requires to advance. It would require OSMF to shrink OSM to like 5% of its focus.
