Hello Everyone!
It was really a nice opportunity for CommunityAction to be a part of the OSM workshop on 21st February. I am really excited to see the zeal of the young participants. My appreciation goes for the mappers who were out today in old Dhaka with GPS devices. My special gratitude goes to HTI and to the members of CommunityAction for their contribution and specially to Mikel, Nicolas, Ishtiaque and to related others for your kind support. I hope CommunityAction with HTI and OSM can work collectively in future initiatives. Regards, Sohaila Ridwan General Secretary CommunityAction http://ca-bd.org On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Ishtiaque Ahmed <ishtia...@csebuet.org>wrote: > Thank you all for your inspiring comments. > > Yes, I will journal all these things in my OSM wiki page.
