[OSM-talk] High res DigitalGlobe imagery open for tracing through Mapbox Satellite

[Alex Rollin]

Still no money here in Indonesia, but we are getting very close...We ran a
successful test in Dec/Jan/Feb and now we're moving all the training
courses online.  Teaching OSM and commons based peer production as a
"sosial project" to help poor children and single parents without work.  It
is slow going, writing all the documents myself still, but there is
progress each week.

We had a cadre of 12 students during the pilot, went really well.  Now have
a grant out asking for help with our first training room, a few more
computers.
