When the Mapillary plugin is ready/usable (september 2015?) this might be a great source, but it will also contain a lot of pictures that are useless for mapping. It also takes way too long before they are available on the map (3 days or so at the moment). Preferred formula: people collect data before the "mapping party", e.g. taking pictures in their own neighborhood. If you announce it before the holidays, they have 2 months to collect pictures. Not everybody will collect a few hundred pictures in 1 hour :-) During the party, we can teach them how to use JOSM to improve the map based on their pictures. Pictures can reside on their own disk or on Mapillary. But I prefer that they make their own notes/photos and that they do not have to start hunting for useful pictures from other people on Mapillary. The presentation that was distributed contained a section with ideas for photo's and things to map. I can give a few links to my photo website for additional ideas. regards m
