John söker någon som kan komma till Stockholm den 25:e juli och hjälpa
HOT-nybörjare att kartera.
Han är inte med på listan, så CC:a gärna honom eller svara privat, så
slipper jag vidarebefodra! ; )

mejllistan <https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-se> och ställer samma fråga
där. Eller om du vill så kan jag vidarebefodra det här mejlet åt dig dit och be folk svara

är ett helt fantastiskt projekt. Jag har tänkt att dra ihop ett litet evenemang runt det
vid tillfälle och tänkte nu göra ett första försök.

jag tänkte att nu är det dags att ta tag i det hela. I korthet handlar det om att det i
flera länder kommer att äga rum mapathon som fokuserar på att kartera Lesotho.

förstått av mina kollegor att ni är väldigt kunniga och tänkte höra om ni båda eller
någon av er vore intresserade av att vara med på evenemanget och lära mig och andra
nybörjare hur man ska göra på bästa sätt? Jag tror att det skulle kunna bli riktigt
trevligt!
