[Talk-us] Virtual Mappy Hour

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,

(I posted most of this on OpenStreetMap.us as well)

The board has been using Google+ Hangouts for meetings and it has been
a good experience overall. Google also offers a thing called Hangouts
On Air, which are basically Hangouts anyone can tune in to via
YouTube. Up to 9 folks at a time can hang out, all others get to
watch.

We are going to try to use this feature to host our first
OpenStreetMap US Virtual Mappy Hour, next Monday, November 12, at
5:30PM Pacific, 8:30PM Eastern.

See the OpenStreetMap US Chapter Google+ page[1] for details and come
hang out (and likely iron out some kinks as we figure this out) next
Monday.

Discussion topics?
I would love to talk about how to guide the Operation Cowboy armchair
mappers. If there's interest, I can talk about what the board has been
up to. But it's not a formal meeting, so let's just see where (and how
long) it goes.

For those without google accounts: The YouTube channel is supposedly
open to the public. If you want to say something, we can dial you in.
Let me know in advance if you want me to do that.
Finally, please be aware that a recording of the hangout will remain
available on YouTube for anyone to watch at any time.
