Hi Andrew,<br><br>I'm not entirely sure what we might get up to. I'm keen for some hands on work, and it'd be good to double up as a local meetup if one doesn't already exist. I'm sure we all love to map locally too, so please do come if you can :)<br><br>A mix of presentations does sound really good. Maybe not for the first meet up, but perhaps for subsequent ones?<br><br><br>Sent from ProtonMail mobile<br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On 20 Mar. 2019, 4:31 pm, Andrew Harvey < andrew.harvey4@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">> Casual meetup of Sydney based OSM mappers, let's meet up and do some humanitarian mapping tasks on HOTOSM!</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Dion, is the intention to be a local OSM meetup + a Missing Maps (<a href="http://www.missingmaps.org">http://www.missingmaps.org</a>) style humanitarian mapathon?</div><div><br></div><div>Should I come if I'm interested in Australian OSM, but not interested in remote mapping outside Australia?</div><div><br></div><div>There's been two Missing Maps events in the past in Sydney that I know of and both times almost all attendees were new to OSM, so it didn't act as a local community meetup.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm very interested in a Sydney OSM event for locals to catch up about all things OSM.
