We could hire a Mapping Matatu :). A matatu is the main form of public transport in Kenya, described as a cross between a sports car, a minibus, and a night club http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_taxi#Matatu_.28Kenya.2FUganda.29 == Mikel Maron == http://mapkibera.org/ +254 (0) 724899738 mi...@osmfoundation.org From: Nick Black nickbla...@gmail.com To: Roy Wallace waldo000...@gmail.com Cc: OSM talk@openstreetmap.org Sent: Wed, December 16, 2009 2:24:26 PM Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] New Google Map Maker promotion This is an awesome idea. I'd like to see the OSM Foundation running something like this. Without a co-ordinated effort, Google have a great chance of winning the hearts and minds of mappers in developing countries.
