[HOT] In Person Mapathons

[Harry Wood]

I've organised another mapathon event in London TONIGHT!  If you're in this part of the world, details and sign-up on eventbrite: http://bit.ly/1bqmZqs 


I've also listed events here:

Obviously that could do with having some more links to event details!


Douglas, you were asking if there will be anything left to map. I was also starting to worry about this myself in relation to tonight's event! 

Experienced mappers can look over the mapping that is already done, and find lots of fixup and refinement work to do, but this is harder to teach to new folks. For a mapathon with new people, we really need to find a virgin spot of unmapped stuff. I think I will be alright for this evening but I've had to spend a little while in advance looking around to get a feel for where there's work to do. I'd recommend other event organisers do the same. 

People can help with this by being bold with marking task squares as DONE (even if it was somebody else who did it)

I'd guess by 23rd Nov there wont be much simple mapping left to do in the Philippines.

Harry

Would there be more tasks to work on for Typhoon Haiyan by 23rd Nov on  
the tasking manager?

We hope to contribute on that date, or work on any other task.
