[HOT] Missing Maps Mapathon Tuesday 30th September, London UK

[Nick Allen]

Hi fellow HOTties,

On Tuesday 30th September 1800hrs British Summer Time or 1900hrs UTC 
depending on which flavour you prefer, there will be a Missing Maps 
Mapathon at Skills Matter, Goswell Rd., London. More details on the 
Eventbrite site at 
http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/missing-maps-hot-september-mapathon-tickets-13271759189?aff=eac2 
including an extremely nice map!

The places are going fast, with a maximum of 66 available.

It would be really good to have more HOT mappers coming along to assist 
- we have a programme, slideshow, presenters & all of the bits to make 
the evening a great success, but the more HOT mappers that can come 
along the better. Experts are welcome, but so are newcomers, because you 
remember what problems you had to overcome, and you are experts in the 
eyes of someone who has never mapped before. If you can come along, 
reply by email to me so I know who's coming and when (we can cope with 
late arrivals!) - we try to seat HOT mappers amongst new mappers so they 
have someone to chat to in the event of hiccups.

I don't know yet which task(s) we will concentrate on, but it would be 
great if a few remote validators could give some feedback to our new 
mappers - a green square says a thousand words! I'm keen to see the new 
messaging system in the Tasking Manager (Thanks to the Techies for 
producing it - looks better than anything we had thought of asking 
for!). I'll send out a message on the evening with details of our task / 
project.

Thanks for reading & I hope to make contact on the evening.
