To whom it may concern,

We are now in a position to determine who will go on the OSM Fieldwork
trip. The procedure is detailed here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSMFieldwork/ChoiceProcedure

That page includes the list of eligible names and the criteria. If you
have signed the pledge and made the donation, please check the list to
make sure your name has been included. If you believe that there's been
a mistake of some sort, contact me ASAP.

It is pleasing to note that, currently, our map of Grenada is
significantly more complete in terms of roads (although not names) than
that made via Google Map Maker:

vs.

On the names front, a Grenadian has already been adding POIs and other
notes to the map using OpenStreetBugs:
http://openstreetbugs.appspot.com/?lon=-61.73449007914551&lat=12.037366459035228&zoom=13
I've transferred many of them to the map; if anyone still has time to
spend and would like to do some more, that would be great.

Gerv
