[talk-au] Oceania representation at the OSMF Advisory Board

[Edoardo Neerhut]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to bump this topic again as the OSMF advisory board meeting is
taking place tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to put on their radar?

Also, let me know if you're keen to join the first meeting of the
OpenStreetMap Special Interest Group
<https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MnA0dHRkODVrNnN2ZzRnYzViNmt2c3E0YTkgZGdlYTA2Y2YydHU5dWtsMmY3bm1mcWpwOThAZw&tmsrc=dgea06cf2tu9ukl2f7nmfqjp98%40group.calendar.google.com>
on Friday. I gave the wrong date above. It is actually Friday May 28th.
Really hope to see some of you there to discuss how we can better support
OSM in Oceania.

Happy mapping,

Ed
