How can we get more effective press coverage from events? Part of it is
probably more people volunteering for the communications working group, but
is there more?

 

Note: If you want to help with the CWG, email
communication at osmfoundation.org.

If I remember correctly, we had it marked as "access=no" and the segment
removed about an hour faster than on Google.  Somebody needs to get ahold of
Rosa from NBC (who did the "article") and let them know about OSM pawning
Google here.
