Hi Folks In the quite recesses of a Sydney neighborhood an (un)conference is being planned for Sat. the 21st of May. The topic is "Bridging the Gap - Disaster Response".
As the name suggests the aim is to bring together people with formal responsibility to respond to disasters and communities such as OpenStreetMap, Ushahidi, CrisisCommons, CrisisMappers, Maps-Group, Sahana and more ... Currently we are looking for someone who can speak about OpenStreetMap in the context of disaster response. But if you want get involved in any way please get in touch. If you are interested you can ping me or Tolmie MacRae: atmacrae@hotmail.comwho is currently developing the schedule for the one-day event. He's a great contact in the Sydney area if you don't already know him, he helped in organising the HOT Mapping Event/CrisisCamp for Pakistan Floods. So if you can present on OSM, or are from an NGO, Government, Emergency Manager, Developer, Hacker, Polymath or can help with the organising introduce yourself.
