[talk-pr] OSM Puerto Rico

[Jeff Haack]

Nice to meet you all.  I've been enjoying doing a bit of mapping these days
as I'm getting acquainted with San Juan.  It's a great way to explore and
find all sorts of stuff.

Would anyone be interested in a mapping party Sunday, December 8th?  We
could spend a couple hours mapping, then grab some beers and edit.  I guess
it would be a pretty small "party," but maps and beer are always fun.
