[Talk-us] BurningMan 2015

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Frederik,

This has been added ahead of time for years. It will be on the ground and
most people at Burning Man are unlikely to have internet connection, but
use applications with download OSM data. I see no reason this can't be
added this year the same as in the past by the US OSM community.

Thanks,

Kate
