<div dir="ltr">Hi John,<div><br></div><div>Good points. We talked abit about this at our meeting last Friday and decided that we'll have a quick introduction to OSM and a beginners "get going" walk through. Thinking max 30 minutes for this. We'll ensure we have folks wandering around or that can be flagged down for help. Many of us, including myself are still learning (lots of detail with OSM) but we want to pass on what we can:) We'll primarily focus on using iD to keep it simple plus use a tasking manager (assuming the HOT one). We're thinking of printing a few large maps that we can use as discussion points for teaching. </div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Cheers,<br><br>Richard<br><br>------<br>Please note:<br>I only check email a few times during business hours.<br><br>Richard Burcher<br><br><div><br><br>Twitter: @richardburcher<div>Blog: <a href="http://www.richardburcher.com" target="_blank">www.richardburcher.com</a><br>LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkd.in/richardburcher" target="_blank">http://linkd.in/richardburcher</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div>

Highways for example tend to use a subset of the OSM possibilities. Also iD is fairly new so many experienced OSM mappers such as myself don't know their way round it to assist newcomers.<br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Thanks<br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Cheerio John<br></div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 26 September 2015 at 08:30, Heather Leson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:heatherleson@gmail.com" target="_blank">heatherleson@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Good point. <br><br></div>How about a university?
