<div dir="ltr">Hi Will,<div> Welcome to the list and I concur with the previous respondents and working through some of the projects initially is an excellent starting point. Whilst not in Australia, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM) needs a bit of assistance with one of our neighbours at <a href="https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/12728">https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/12728</a> and that also would be an excellent place to delve into.</div><div> </div><div> With automated or semi automated asset creation, one key concern is uploading content that needs to be removed after a shift in policy or should not have been loaded in the first place. If going down this path, can we ask for a plan and within that plan, a process to update a small area that can be socialised. </div><div><br></div><div>There is also <a href="https://osgeo-oceania.org/">OSGeo Oceania</a> that you may be interested in joining (yes, I do have a conflict of interest here) and the <a href=" https://ti.to/foss4g-oceania/pacific-geospatial-conference-2022">Pacific Geospatial Conference 2022</a> in late November (oops, another conflict here as well) will offer you a lot of insight into the community and processes.</div><div><br></div><div>Once again welcome!</div><div><br></div><div>Ewen</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 8 Sept 2022 at 09:05, Graeme Fitzpatrick <<a href="mailto:graemefitz1@gmail.com">graemefitz1@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><br></div><div>Hi Will</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 7 Sept 2022 at 10:14, William Ireland <<a href="mailto:William.Ireland@tomtom.com" target="_blank">William.Ireland@tomtom.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
