Hi Faisal.
It was nice to meet you briefly at the London Ushahidi meet-up a couple of 
weeks back. Sorry we didn't get to chat longer.

I took a look at the mapping progress in Rawalpindi, and it looks like you've 
been doing some great work. I was even able to check my imagery alignment using 
all the GPS traces you guys have been gathering. Great stuff!


So I'm sad to hear about these new laws halting your progress. Let us know if 
you can see anything HOT or OpenStreetMap organisations could do to help.

We were doing on-ground mapping in Pakistan especially our TED prize winner 
project "SaafPindi". After reading this news we have stopped on ground mapping 
and are not updating open street map from Friday on-wards.  We are just 
pondering different options.

Thanks,
