<br>
I recently went on a field trip, as part of a Missing Maps / American Red Cross / MSF project in Sierra Leone. I've written a short diary entry [1], and was recently filmed whilst giving a short talk in London about the trip [2].<br>
<br>
Keep up the good work, it is appreciated! I was only a small cog in a great big machine, which I'm proud to say that all on this mailing list are part of. We introduced many people and organisations to OpenStreetMap and HOT - many were surprised at the quality of the mapping that was available. I'm sure we will see more use of the information, and if our brief training sessions & talks 'hit the mark' then perhaps a few more people will be involved in the projects in the future.<br>
<br>
Off shopping shortly - my luggage was lost by the airline.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, lots of geotagged photographs and gps traces to process, together with lots of water supply information.<br>
<br>
Once again, on behalf of the many people I (We) spoke to, thank you, and keep up the good work.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
