Dear All, I keep talking about the fun we have at OSM events, and I wonder how to help others start similar events in their towns?
The conferences are super. If you can go, you should go. No question. SotM 2012 will be in Tokyo Japan this year and I'm very excited about that. Smaller events like our monthly Mappy Hours in Toronto are great fun too. I encourage you to start one in your town. You don't have to live in a big city. We've had successful OSM events in Cambridge (100k) and Waterloo (100k) and a new one is planned for this month in Guelph (88k). These events can be successful with as few as two mappers. Once you have a track record of events, you'll discover that you have 'regulars' and new friends. Until you get to that point, you'll be able to help newcomers learn to use the OSM editors and improve the map in their neighbourhood. So how can I help you start your new local group? _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
