[HOT] need contact info for a mini-mapathon

[Tyler Radford]

Hi John,

Thanks for emailing. What you are doing sounds great. Thanks for organizing
this and helping spread the word!

As you get slightly closer, you could email info at hotosm.org. One of our
team members will respond. We can find a project which needs the most help
in the few days before the event.
