>> so I think it's time we

>> more participants. (And try to better the event management skills of the
>> Davao pips when they did their Davao Mapping Party. ;-)
Some things that worked for Davao:
1. Enough time and announcement before the event.
2. A separate tutorial session on how to map, before the event.
3. Sponsors, banners, etc.


>> While Metro Manila is covered by Yahoo! imagery, there are plenty of places
>> where a "virgin" GPS survey is possible. Here are some places I can think
>> of:
>>
>> 1. Ortigas Home Depot and Metro Walk. The Yahoo! imagery here is outdated so
>> this is a good spot to survey. The problem is that this spot is too small.
>> But we could fill in the time with presentations if we were to target
>> newbies.
>>
>> 2. McKinley Hills in Taguig (near Bonifacio Global City). Yahoo! imagery is
>> outdated too. Same concerns as above.
>>
>> 3. Mandaluyong around Shaw Blvd. This area is covered by clouds in Yahoo! so
>> GPS surveying is definitely needed.
>>
>> 4. Combine all of the above as separate slices if the number of participants
>> is high.
>>
>> Any other suggestions?
