[HOT] [REQUEST] - Beginner Participation in AI Assisted Mapping Study (cross post)

[Bo Percival]

Hi All,

A really quick update on AI-Assisted mapping experiement. Due to some
additional tests that need running on the servers *we have postponed this
event until next Friday Sept 24. *Apologies for the last minute change, we
just need to make sure everything is 100% stable so it won't interfere with
the mapathon. Looking forward to seeing you next Friday if you're
participating and you'll receive another email from me on Monday with the
finer details.

Kindness,

bo
