Hi again, Apologies for more spam, but Jayen pointed out that my calendar link didn't work. You should be able to see the open calendar here <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=dgea06cf2tu9ukl2f7nmfqjp98%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Australia%2FMelbourne>. Once again, the OSM SIG discussion is scheduled for January 22nd at 12pm UTC +11. Everyone is welcome.
In the meantime, please help us improve the charter <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit#> so that we can develop and grow the Oceania OSMF local chapter.
