[talk-au] MS open maps

[Alex Sims]

Hi,

It looks as though you are all based in Seattle, rather than Australia, is that right?

The big question for me is why are you armchair mapping Australia from the US.

How can you be sure that your edits are correct and what is Microsoft’s secret plan for Australia :) ?

You may have noticed some Microsoft folks present on the mailings lists and Australian Slack channels in the past few months.  Microsoft have convened a small Open-Maps team that is starting to work on the OSM data in Australia. Our team is not importing data, using algorithms or robot edits to improve the map, we are using iD & JOSM to make improvements.
