Hi Ben, I can certainly help you out with JOSM. Is this meeting to take place somewhere in Belgium? I can do a presentation in English, Dutch or French. Are there people involved with HOT here in Belgium? Will they work all over Africa, or in specific regions?
The Openstreetmap project has been presented like this to participants of Trage Wegen in Haaltert a few months ago. The person who did this, did it very well. Completely adapted to newcomers and people who were not very 'computer savvy'. Unfortunately we ran out of time though :-) Jo 2011/8/19 Ben Abelshausen <ben.abelshau...@gmail.com> > Hello, > > I contacted an organisation doing mapping in some parts of africa (Africa4U > http://www.africa4u.eu/ website a bit out of date) and introduced the > president of the organisation to OSM.
