[HOT] HOT tutorship program for supporting OSM communities in the developing countries

[Mike Dupont]

HI there,
I also see that HOT has to do with developing countries to help prevent
problems as well. I can tell you about my experience in community building
in kosovo, where I am right now organizing the fourth edition of the sfk
conference. I have some slides online on this topic, that I presented at
zagreb.

I would be willing to talk to you in detail about this and also give you
advice based on my experience here.
