Re: [HOT] Training volunteers in Albania
Hi there, a correction. Our correct website is www.openlabs.cc. As Open Labs I have to admit that there is so much more to do in OSM from the local community. At the moment we are focused in organizing OSCAL Conference ( http://oscal.openlabs.cc/), but I will raise this as an issue in the next community meeting. We have Besfort Guri from Kosova talking about similar issues in the conference, and I'll personally organise an open discussion about OSM as well. Thanks for pointing this out. *---* *Redon Skikuli* *e-mail: **re...@skikuli.com re...@skikuli.com* *web: **www.skikuli.com http://www.skikuli.com* On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 2:53 PM, Mike Dupont jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com wrote: Howdy, check out openlabs.com which is a group who is working on open source and knowledge projects in Albania. in 2010 I was working on the flooding in Shokder, work page here with some non dead links. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AlbanianFloodingCrisisCamp We have a mailing list with many users from Kosovo on it, there might be some from Albania. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gis-kosova mike On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 4:54 AM, malenki o...@malenki.ch wrote: About a month ago I stumbled over some beginners mapping in Tirana (capital of Albania).
