It wasn't a Mapping Party (even in the Google sense of the term). It was
simply a party. Nobody actually edited any maps. The event was just
basically a the bloggers/developers version of the press conference that
occurred last March 12 wherein bloggers and developers replaced the
mainstream media.

Unsurprisingly, Rally was also there since he is an estwhile Map Maker
contributor. :-)

I haven't seen Google announce this event generally so I guess it's an
invitation-only affair. It will be on June 3 in the evening in Makati.

I think some of them are aware of OSM but I'm planning to surreptitiously
introduce OSM to those who don't know. Hehehe. Well, I think many will still
choose to stick with Google Map Maker owing to Google's vast satellite
imagery collection, but at least they will be aware that a non-proprietary
alternative exists.

[talk-ph] Google Map Maker Mapping Party now in the Philippines

2009-05-30 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Hello all,

I got an invite to attend what appears to be the first Google Map Maker
Mapping Party in the Philippines. I think I'll just might go and observe
what happens.

Google Mapping Party? Well, you can get a nice OSM-biased introduction on
the subject from a recent blog post of mine (that I posted before I got the
invite) and where I essentially diss the Google Mapping Party concept:
http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/google_mapping_party_kit . I'm not sure
if my post had anything to do with me getting an invite. Hehehe.

I'll post a write-up to the mailing list after the event. :-)
