[Talk-nz] [Talk-pacific] Funding for OpenStreetMap initiatives

[Violaine]

Hi,

This is a great news,

I would also add in the equipment category : RTK collaborative and 
opensource devices? See : https://docs.centipede.fr/

It's being used a lot in France for agricultural purposes, I would love 
to test it here for wheelchair mapping... Still idea state...

Best regards,

Violaine
