[talk-ph] Quarterly Mapping Parties (was: Re: Looking forward to OSM-PH in 2010

[maning sambale]

Hi,

I created a stub page for the mapping party events
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/MappingParty

Please add more info.


> QUARTERLY MICRO MAPPING PARTIES
> -------------------------------
>
> We think that more frequent and regular Micro Mapping Parties in vicinity of
> Metro Manila would be better in order to reach newbies and share mapping
> techniques and create a more social/friendly interaction among mappers.
>
> Instead of asking everyone on which date they are free, we will just set
> fixed
> dates and people can choose to attend the Parties when they are free. We are
> also looking to get sponsorships for these events (most likely the local
> Garmin
> distributors).
>
> Davao mappers and other areas can schedule their own regular events.
>
> Other ideas for mapping events:
>  - Mapping slums/urban poor areas - ala mapkibera.org
>  - Use TODA (transport groups) to speed up "road naming" within their
>    respective routes. We could trace streets from Yahoo! print it then give
> it
>    to jeepney/tricycle drivers to verify.
>  - Organize mapping events among local college and universities
