[talk-au] Active Australian OSM contributors in light of CT/license changes

[Diego Molla-Aliod]

I was quietly reading this list until I saw my name, so here's my reply
about what I plan to do.

I only map from my traces and therefore the change of license doesn't affect
me (does it?) so my plan is to keep mapping OSM. I'll keep checking
fosm.orgevery now and then but so far I can't reach it.

Anyway, these days I'm holidaying in Asahikawa, a town mostly uncharted, a
paradise for mappers :-) what you see is virtually my own:
