Hi Fred,
Like you maybe know, Pete and I are at this moment in Bangladesh for the missing maps project. And out of my experience here, you can be sure you can count on the Bangladeshi OSM community! We are for example mapping these days together with a group of around 10-15 volunteers who are doing amazingly good! Have a look on the Bangladesh Facebook group to see all the enthusiasm! It might also be useful to talk to Tai Chi from Japan, he did some mapping with drones in Bangladesh before. Have look at this video: http://vimeo.com/68523276 Istiaque also know about it I think... And Fred if we can help out a little bit while being here, if we can talk to the TdH people here in Bangla together with Istiaque or Ahasan or another hard core mapper, we definitely want to! Just let us know what we can do. Best greetings, Jorieke 2015-01-21 18:33 GMT+06:00 Fred Moine <[email protected]>: > Thanks For this information, > > I will let Tdh Bangladesh be in touch with you.
