> Casual meetup of Sydney based OSM mappers, let's meet up and do some humanitarian mapping tasks on HOTOSM!
Dion, is the intention to be a local OSM meetup + a Missing Maps ( http://www.missingmaps.org) style humanitarian mapathon? Should I come if I'm interested in Australian OSM, but not interested in remote mapping outside Australia? There's been two Missing Maps events in the past in Sydney that I know of and both times almost all attendees were new to OSM, so it didn't act as a local community meetup. I'm very interested in a Sydney OSM event for locals to catch up about all things OSM. I think a mix of presentations + social is perfect, like GeoRabble, https://georabble.org. I see that as a bit different to a mapathon, which is a bit of into followed by actual hands on work. On Mon, 18 Mar 2019 at 19:08, Dion Moult <d...@thinkmoult.com> wrote: > Hey all!
