Betreff: [OSM-talk] Fieldwork in Grenada

An: talk at openstreetmap.org

At State of the Map, an initiative was started to improve our coverage 
of the Caribbean, as a little friendly competition with Google MapMaker.

It works like this: people pledge using Pledgebank to spend one hour or 
more adding to OpenStreetMap by tracing over Yahoo! aerial imagery on a 
Caribbean island, and to make a donation of £10 to the OpenStreetMap 
Foundation. This also gives you the chance to go there to do some 
fieldwork. If we get enough people (60), the OSMF will(*) pick one 
pledger at random to go to the Caribbean (probably Grenada) for a week 
or two to get road names, finish the map and do some evangelism.

To make this work, we need 60 people willing to contribute an hour of 
their time and £10 to the OSMF. If that's you, sign up today!

(*) Or "may". There is no promise, because then this would become a 
lottery. But then, we can't make the fieldworker promise to work on the 
map while they are in the Caribbean either. So it's trust on all sides.
