Hi, I gave a talk on OSM at fossconf09 at Madurai. There was a packed hall to listen - about a 100 people, and I got one definite and about 10 possibles. But on the 3 days of the conference about 2000 people attended, and I only reached a 100 of them. 1900 are still living in blissful ignorance of OSM. I now realise that I should have taken a demo stall - and reached all 2000 of them. Which means in the Pune conference I reached about 15 people and missed the remaining 800. In future I propose we have a demo stall in any conference where we can get a foot in. Which means preparing the material. This means slides, a set of sites which show what can be done, printouts of the area in which the conference is taking place. Potlatch and JOSM open on machines so interested people can get hands-on experience. We need to gather up all the resources in a wiki page, along with a list of volunteers giving which parts of the country they are willing to cover. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
