[Talk-in] Planning for OSM mapping party in Pune for Maharashtra

[Chandan Baba]

​Hello Nikhil

Myself Chandan from Mumbai Area, Glad to see your stepping up for Pune
region. Can we collaborate on this ? I mean we can have small hangout meet
where we can discuss possible contributions for open street mapping
community. Since I am also gearing up with the same goal and gladly
selected for Open Leadership training [
https://mozilla.github.io/leadership-training/] and together we can do
great for Maharashtra region.

Let me know your thoughts,

Regards,
Chandan
