Coincidence! I was actually thinking about possible mapping parties for 2011 earlier this day.
Below is what I came up with. I think we can do a mapping party every two months: 4 in Metro Manila and 2 out of town. February: QC Scout Area <http://osm.org/go/4zhTArYA--> (basically the areas covered by Barangays South Triangle, Sacred Heart, Kamuning, Laging Handa, Obrero, Paligsahan, and Roxas. This combined area is slightly larger than the Intramuros Mapping Party area. Why this area? A colleague of mine mentioned that he noticed the lack of POIs in this area on the OSMPH Garmin map, and this is a target area of Ian Lopez (based on one of his wiki pages), and Wayne works in GMANews.TV so he would be familiar with this area. April: Corregidor <http://osm.org/go/4zK1EiW>. This was supposed to be for last year. But let's try again this year. This is a great summer mapping party destination. :-) June: Pateros <http://osm.org/go/4zhHgAN_-->. Why not make Metro Manila's last and smallest municipality the most complete area in Metro Manila, more complete than even Marikina? ;-) August: Manila, either Malate-Ermita <http://osm.org/go/4zhFwboB--> or Binondo (and surrounding areas like Divisoria) <http://osm.org/go/4zhQOKL7>. Lots of POIs. October: Bataan <http://osm.org/go/4zLZgY>. Basically like last year's Cavite but this time in Bataan, and with more emphasis on town centers since Bataan's road network is mostly complete (I think--correct me if I'm wrong). December: Western San Juan <http://osm.org/go/4zhSEhfV--> (basically San Juan minus Barangays West Crame and Greenhills). This is one of the most confusing areas in Metro Manila with its numerous one ways and a lack of grid streets but is where drivers know shortcuts to avoid traffic in the major Metro Manila thoroughfares. Other people can give suggestions of course. :-D On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 7:46 PM, maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Any ideas for mapping events this year? > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/Mapping_Party#Proposed_parties > > -- > cheers, > maning _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
