(Just sent this directly to people who have expressed interest .. if
you all know anyone else who'd might like to help, please forward)

Greetings all

Map Kibera is on the verge of starting. Thanks much for your interest
in helping out. We're building a high caliber team of young people
from Kibera to map, but they're still going to need support to get
started with the OpenStreetMap software. That's where I'm hoping you
all -- experienced in software development, GIS, and OSM -- can play a
key part in making the project work well.

Here's the rough plan for the next three weeks...

On Monday, November 9, we are having a day long kick-off Mapping Party
at Carolina for Kibera offices. This will cover mostly surveying,
which I think can be quickly grasped without too much help. But it's
going to be a fun introduction, and if you're interested to come
please please do.

On Tuesday, we'll be in the offices of SODNet, for training on the OSM
stack. We'll take the data collected the day before, and teach people
here to use JOSM. This is where it would be great to have your
support. Even if you haven't contributed to OSM before, your
experience is going to allow to quickly get up to speed, and help
others, or at least help to communicate my instruction in more detail.

From Wednesday until the end of the month, we'll have a daily cycle of
collecting data in the morning, and editing in the afternoon. In the
afternoons, especially during the first week, it would be great to
have your support.

SO please let me know soon if you are interested in taking part, and
what your availability would look like.

Best
Mikel
