[talk-au] Introducing myself

[David Groom]

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've been involved in OSM since May 2006.

I'm based in The UK, but have been mapping various parts of Australia using 
Yahoo and Landsat imagery.

When Potlatch was introduced a few months back I initially wanted an area of 
the world without any OSM contributions where I could test it, and if it all 
went wrong I could happily delete the whole area and know I wasn't deleting 
someone else's work.  Hence my decision to start mapping Darwin.  Things 
progressed well, and I eventually found myself completing as much of Darwin 
as I could from Yahoo, then doing the Stuart Highway from Darwin to Port 
Augusta from tracing Landsat imagery (plus the highway west from the Stuart 
Highway to Uluru).  I've also tried to map as much of Cairns & Townsville 
using the Yahoo imagery in Potlatch.  (Sadly there's a big cloud over the 
centre of Townville in the Yahoo imagery so there is a bit of a gap in the 
mapping :) )
