[Talk-us] Operation Cowboy - Progress/Todo

[Martijn van Exel]

I will post on openstreetmap.us as well. I did set up a SLC event but
I don't know if anyone is going to show up for that. Lots of folks
have family obligations around here this weekend it seems.

Also I am preparing MapRoulette's next challenge in case we run out of
connectivity errors over the weekend.

If I have time I will prepare another MapRoulette video that goes into
exploring the area around the connectivity error a little more (fixing
alignment, adding traffic signals, adding new ways maybe). Would that
be useful?
