Hi All,

I'm keen to get some thing actually imported and added to OSM so I'm
thinking of a mini Hackfest/Meetup to work through these issues and
get some actual streets on maps.

Dates: Either 27th or 28th March
Location: TBA - Can be my place if there are only a few of us.

Purpose: To import a small area of road data from the LINZ dataset
(http://skitch.com/barnaclebarnes/n4j5j/langs-beach) into OSM. Work
through the issues, check this data, fix any errors and document the
process.

If we can get at least a small piece imported hopefully we can get
over some of the road blocks that have stopped us getting the import
completed.

If anyone else is keen let let know and we can get started on the
organisation.

Thanks,
Glen Barnes

Sounds good, I'm in. :)

For those of you outside Auckland (or NZ), IRC is another way to get involved.

Cheers,

Rob :)

Hi All. Still keen for this this weekend. Just been a bit slack on
posting. Rob said he can get the Chatham Islands data. So how about
12-4 on Saturday?

11 Franklin Road
Freemans Bay
Auckland

Let me know if you can make it.

What are the aims exactly?  Did anyone read through the issues discussed in the October 2009 thread?
