[Talk-ca] Aerial drones helps geomatics

[Clifford Snow]

Aerial drones for OSM is very intriguing. For example mapping new
construction and areas not covered by Bing images or where only low
resolution images are available. I wonder the spec would be for a low cost
drone?

Seems like a good project for a local community to undertake. Maybe we
could get some grant money to build one.
