[talk-ph] Missing Maps Project

[Arnoud Keizer]

Hi Eugene,

Happy to join if you meet in Manilla regarding this. I'm in town until
November 12.
Will be very useful to complete Bohol's OSM, as currently I'm advising a
watershed commission in the Eastern part of Bohol. Because of this I
started mapping this part of the island in August. Together with project
NOAH I also did several OSM hands-on workshops with LGU's, youth volunteers
and Bohol Island State University. I hope this will lead to some mapping
activities through local people in the next months.
Since August more detailed satellite images have become available for this
specific area. On-screen mapping is possible for almost the whole watershed
(Carood river).

Best wishes,

Arnoud Keizer
