[talk-ph] OSM-PH @ Software Freedom Day 2011

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

We've had a successful OSM workshop during the Software Freedom Day
2011 celebration at UST. OSM-PH was represented by myself, maning, and
Ernest. We've had around 40 people in attendance in the Eng Lab B of
the UST Faculty of Engineering and we gave a short presentation about
OSM. I think this was the largest audience we've ever introduced to
OSM. After that presentation, we let them try their hand at editing
using Potlatch.

Here are some of the changesets during the workshop:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9321716
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9321642

A few of them have even continued editing after the event:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/9338870

We'll try to post the pictures on Facebook soon. I'll also try to
upload the presentation slides as well.

:)
