Yup, we did seminars/workshops because only few people knew OSM in Davao and some who are aware of it don't know how to edit the map. Maybe in Manila's case, you don't need seminars/workshops because you have many experienced contributor in your area. Maybe a pre-mapping party meeting will do to organize the teams.<br>
<br>
And in our case most of the participants who attended the seminars did not attend the mapping party and those who attended the workshop all joined the mapping party.<br>

Best,<br>
