This is not directly related to QGIS, but thought it was important enough to
post. I'll ask for forgiveness later. Most if not all of you are familiar with
OSM, and many of you, I'm sure, are contributors, so you may already be aware
of the this effort. If you have never contributed; thought about it and just
never found the time; or haven't logged in for a while, I would encourage you
to read the Red Cross article and visit the open tasks page. This is a
worthwhile effort to participate in, and each of us have the necessary skills
to rapidly create the data that is needed. I spent some time just a few hours
ago digitizing huts and pathways in rural Sierra Leone. It's easy and free to
get involved to contribute mapping support for a good cause.

Thanks for taking the time to read,
