I wanted to send everyone a reminder that the Atlanta, Georgia OSM community is having a mapping party this Saturday and Sunday. We will be mapping the area in and around Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday and Grant Park and Zoo Atlanta on Sunday. The event is shaping up to be fairly large and if our other mapping parties are any indication, we are going to have a lot of fun. Check out the wiki for all of the event details and to learn more about the projects we are working on in Georgia: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Atlanta This event is the first in a series of mapping parties happening in Georgia throughout the remainder of the year. The mapping party this weekend is an introduction to OSM for a lot of community groups and municipal GIS departments who are helping the local mapping community make the map of Atlanta as good as some of the other major North American and Canadian cities. I want to encourage all the OSM mappers around the Atlanta area to attend because we have a ton of newbies coming and it would be great to have just as many experienced mappers there as well to show them the ropes. We are also hosting a huge citywide Mapathon on October 16-18, 2009 to bring as many community groups and new mappers as possible together with the already awesome local OSM community to ramp up contributions to the Atlanta map and expand the base of mappers. These upcoming mapping events are very exciting for the mappers who have been working on the map of Georgia for quite some time now. Especially since our efforts are now being noticed by business associations, universities and established non-profit organizations who want to help us reach our goal of making the Atlanta map one of the best in the country. I hope to see many of you there! Best, Thea Clay _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list talk...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
