Hi The other day I was riding the push bike along some trails and got talking to some horse riders.
It turns out the Lady (Jenny) is the ACT coordinator for (and also the secretary of) the Bicentennial National Trail Ltd. Naturally I dropped the term Openstreetmap and it appears that they are very interested to hear about OSM and their mapping guy would like to talk to us about what they could do with OSM. Apparently they are doing quite a bit of remapping in Queensland, due to the floods, so I see BNT and OSM being very usefull to each other. I told Jenny that one of our Canberra mappers (John) had done quite a bit of work on the BNT in the ACT and they would love to talk to you about it, if you'd be agreeable to that. They also need to have topographical maps for their trail guides but I'm not sure whether OSM has that yet for Australia. It turns out that the trail I was riding on is part of the BNT but is not yet mapped as such in OSM, so I'll have to start surveying the southern part of the ACT's bit of the BNT when time permits. Therefore, my question is, who is the best OSM person to advise BNT of the various technical details of using OSM map data. Nick
