[talk-au] Planning Mapping Party in Canberra - Haiti Edition

[Shoaib Burq]

Hi All,

I am currently considering a charity mapping party and need some ideas from
the oz community. Last mapping party I held in Canberra 20 odd people turned
up. I think the interest in OSM is growing.

So I am considering organizing a mapping party next month where GIS
professionals who actually want to learn about OSM for use at work to pay a
token sum of $2 which gets donated to Red Cross for Haiti. Believe me there
are a lot of ArcGIS ppl here in Canberra who are seriously considering using
OSM for work.

I want your thoughts on the idea. Any gaping holes, objections? I also want
to know if we have any jointly held (as in the trusted osm community) paypal
account. If not I will have to hesitantly use my own.

I have tentatively selected Feb 20th for the party please see

Feed back welcome

Kind regards
Shoaib Burq
