[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Scholarship program to State of the Map 2011

[Jim Morgan]

Sounds great so far. 

You might also want a small section on the particular challenges peculiar to the Philippines. Just off the top of my head:

	- The lack of satellite data (always good to plug that one). So we rely more heavily on contributions, especially in rural areas. 
	- The different ways of subdividing areas. City / Barangay / Village etc. and how that maps onto the OSM categories
	- The different names for things. How do we mark a sari-sari store?  (insert picture into slideshow) Convenience? Vulcanizing store (cue Spock joke ...). 

Those are a few issues that I remember from the discussions on this list. I think this is the sort of thing which would be interesting to others from outside: The quirks.
