If you have any time, all are welcome to come to the first import
working group meeting phone call next week:

       http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Import_Support_Working_Group

The Import Support Working Group is intended as a dating service
between those who have found data, those who can convince people to
give it to OSM and those who can do the technical work of importing
it. This mission may evolve slightly after our first meeting which all
are welcome to.

First meeting

Details

       • Thursday September 10th
10 AM Pacific time (California) (UTC-7)
6 PM British summer time (UK) (UTC+1)
7 PM Central European summer time (Madrid, Paris, Berlin) (UTC+2)

Agenda

       • Participant introductions
       • Sort out the imports at osmfoundation vs. imports at openstreetmap.org
lists, and their need
       • Divide work in to people finding data, people good at getting it
licensed, and those who can do imports
       • Create list of potential and existing imports
               • Prioritise them
       • Any other business
