[Talk-pt] Coming to Portugal on New Year

[Ilya Zverev]

Alas, I won't stop anywhere between Lisbon and Porto, because I'm
travelling by train. But it's not such a big distance, I think.

As for the radio, we are streaming it live every Thurday at 20:00 UTC,
but it's in Russian. Except the next one, which hopefully will feature
Steve Coast. It's just a fun little project, for OSM community members
be known not only by their names, but also by voices. Impression
changes a bit when you know how your opponent sounds like. The website
and archives are here: http://radio.osmz.ru/

Sometimes we invite some unlikely people, like developers of OsmAnd
and Maps.me, or members from foreign communities. On the 1st of
January it would be "open mic" for new year resolutions, and on the
7th I hope to make a broadcast about Portugal — which would be better
if featured any of local osmers :)
