<div>Hello everybody,</div><div><br></div><div>We will be conducting our first hands-on mapping party open to the public for those who are interested in helping in creating a better map for Nepal. The only requirement will be to have either a laptop or an android-enabled smartphone. You will need no prior knowledge of OSM and by the end of the day we will have a much improved map of the community! Please forward this to interested people as well.</div>
