[talk-au] Sydney mapathon

[Dion Moult]

Good morning all!

I recently had a chat with Ritva from WSP in Brisbane, who told me how they organised mapathons as part of the missing maps initiative in Brisbane.

I was inspired by this and checked the upcoming events page on missing maps (http://www.missingmaps.org/events/) but did not see any events listed in the Sydney region (did I miss something perhaps?)

I'm wondering if there are any other Sydneysiders who are keen on a mapathon, and if there are any experienced Sydney mappers who can help lead such a mapathon and guide newcomers (I find that I am quite uncertain when mapping things on HOTOSM Tasks, due to the non-city like nature of the satellite images). I think there will be some the architecture company I work at who would be interested in participating, and although I can't speak for WSP, they have a Sydney branch who I assume might be interested in joining. I can help organise things like venue and catering.

Thoughts? Volunteers?
