Hi Russ and Humberto, hi list!
Starting on April 21st (around 2am Ecuador time), I will be gathering 20
GIS-people for further training (Kassel, Germany).
My plan is to train them in JOSM and help with the mapping efforts for
Ecuador. Via Andrew buck I am told new imagery will be available soon,
with new tasks coming up.
If there is something we can map or re-map/correct ( squaring buildings
etc.) from afar, please let us know.
The current projects look they might be finished by 2am, so I want to
makes sure we can actually help you this way. If not, just say so. If
there is something that needs some more training before being done, we
might be able to arrange that. Sadly we have no spanish speakers available.
I will check tonight and tomorrow (German time) early morning for news.
I entered the Mapathon into the list as requested.
All the best,
Andreas
