[OSM-talk] Multi city OSM mapping party around #desarrollandolatinoamerica

[Alex Barth]

Arlindo - 

Fantastico.

We've rescoped our activities around Desarrollando America Latina (DAL) to do webcasts. We do however encourage all local communities to host mapping parties around the webcasts and the hackathon.

My next actions are to finalize dates with our DAL contacts and Vitor George (copied), here is what's shaping up:

- Dec 1st, 2nd Desarrollando America Latina.
- In the 10 days _before_:
 - Web cast in portuguese (Vitor will hold this one)
 - Web cast in spanish (I'll hold this one)
- In the week before or after Dec 1st, 2nd we encourage local communities to host mapping parties at their own descretion. We can help out with micro sponsoring (e. g. food and drinks) where desired.

Let me know what day(s) you'd like to host a mapping party and we can make sure you're announced through DAL channels.

I'd like to add an OpenStreetMap flavor to it and help organize mapping parties in each of the participant cities either during or before the hackathon. Details are still being determined, I just wanted to drop a quick heads up here and encourage everybody who is interested in helping organize in one of the cities below to get in touch. Either way, I will follow up with details on this list.
