Sending a person to UK would cost around 1,000 pounds. That is definitely a
serious amount of money. As Jim said, if we really had the potential to
raise that kind of amount, I would prefer that it fund projects here such
as those mapping resources Jim mentioned. The funds could also be used for
server hosting and tools or for holding events and procuring promotional
materials.

Anyway, if we really want to target SotM, maybe SotM Asia 2013 would be
better? :-)

Re: [talk-ph] Open Data Day 2013 on February 23

2013-02-18 Thread maning sambale
Dear Everyone,

Less than a week for our Open Data Day celebration.  We have a few
interesting ideas posted in the event page [0].
Please go over the "what to hack/map" section [1] so that you have an
idea on what you want to participate with during the event.
We have more than 30 participants who signified interest (I hope I can
get enough chairs to squeeze in our conference room :-))
A GIS group in Leyte will also join us through G+ Hangout [2].

One reminder for those with cars, ADMU has implemented a oneway
traffic scheme within the campus [3].
I have updated OSM to reflect this change but unfortunately, OSRM
cannot give you any good routing suggestion
because the service does not route on roads with access restrictions.
But basically, every vehicle should enter the
campus via Gate 3 [4].

See you all next Saturday!
