Hi!
I'm new to this mailing list, but quite active in the OSM community.
I read about a possible workshop about OSM, so I'm interested in it.
We also might do a workshop on how OSM works and how
people can
contribute
to OSM. I was thinking possibly it could be a
pre-conference
workshop, the
day before, but not totally sure when it would be. If
we have
enough time
for the workshop and can get/borrow some GPS units,
maybe we can go
collect
some data and then show people how to upload and
process it, to get
into
OSM.
Yeah that's a great idea (which we've discussed before).
We could
probably get more contributors and the workshop format
is much more
open-ended and easier for everyone involved.
So what would this workshop be like? A wiki page collection? A slideshow? Or would this be a "real" workshop with "real" guys?
There are some good presentations on slideshare.net with the topic OSM[1]
