[talk-au] Any ID-edtor savvy mapper who could help with a Young Engineers Australia mapathon?

[Michael Collinson]

Hi all,

Is there anyone who could help me co-host a Young Engineers Australia 
mapathon in the March-ish time-frame? I happy to do most of the talking 
about OpenStreetMap and HOT but I am most definitely not ID-editor 
savvy. The basic task would be to run through using ID for a specific 
to-be-selected HOT task, for example mapping building outlines, and then 
being on hand to answer any newbie questions. This will be video online 
only.  The plan is to do a familiarisation dry-run with select committee 
members first and then do the real thing - so a chance to practise if 
you have not done this before. If you are diffident about doing the 
initial demo, I could handle that with your help.

Background:

The global engineering firm WSP have had an annual mapathon for a number 
of years and I've helped out with the onsite Melbourne office 
participation. It has been fun and introduced a number of folks to 
OpenStreetMap contributing.

This year they need to be online only and the Melbourne office felt it 
would have more social impact if they initiated a broader Young 
Engineers Australia event.

Do email me publicly or privately if you can help!
