<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>my 2c: <br>
</p>
<p>If we want to have a bunch of new to OSM people map things, I
would suggest that these is a <b>physical location</b> with <b>experts
presen</b><b>t</b>. As we see with the Carleton University
example (not uOttawa), it's hard to get new folks on board... i
would guess that although there was training provided to Carleton
Students, it was done as a lecture rather than a lab.</p>
<p>I was introduced to OSM mapping by joining a meetup, getting an
intro and then everyone sitting around one big table (experts and
new folks) with their laptops and start working through whatever
the project was. It lasted 2-3 hours. I thought it worked well,
and could start working through things on my own after, but still
asking questions of experts. I still made mistakes, but having
experts sitting in the same room to ask questions was invaluable
for me.<br>

<div>Encore plus que le monde rural, il y a tout le nord à

<div>L'objectif de tels mapathons doit être repensé. Il doit
viser à initer et former des nouveaux contributeurs.
L'exemple de l'université d'Ottawa nous montre comment ces
groupes ont besoin de support. Il ne s'agit pas de faire
de la publicité et les convaincre de démarrer des projets.
Nous aurons ensuite à réparer les pots cassés.<br>

I'd be pleasantly surprised if there was much
