[OSM-newbies] Waterloo Ontario OSM meetup

[Richard Weait]

We're having an OSM meetup in Waterloo, Ontario tomorrow.  I know that
you all wish that you could join us! ;-)

"So what?"  I hear the international crowd ask.  Read on to find out
why this announcement belongs on the international newbies list.

If you are in or around Kitchener-Waterloo please do come and join us.
 Our meetups are very casual and aimed entirely at introducing mappers
to mappers.  You'll meet other new and experienced OSMers, have a
chance to compare plans and goals, ask questions.  Usually we go over
the editors for those with questions, too.

Join us tomorrow of follow our calendar for future meetups.

Okay.  So you aren't in Waterloo, or even in Canada, or the northern
hemisphere.  You can set up a local meetup and help other local
mappers.  You can do this.  You don't even have to be the expert at
the meetup, all you have to do is organize it a little tiny bit.  Pick
a location and a date and do it.  You will be surprised at how many
other mappers there are nearby.  Some of them will just be waiting for
somebody, YOU, to set the date.

Do this.  It's fun.
