MSP mapping party Oct 4-5

[Richard Weait]

Dear all,

We're building a mapping party for the MSP area for next weekend, Oct
4-5. I'd love to have help from a local expert to make this one huge.
Are you an MSP local?  Where should we host?  What local cycle, hiking,
geocache, community groups should we contact?  Are you up to help out?
And come on out and map with us.  

Best regards,
Richard

Richard,

I'm curious, who is this mysterious 'we' in your announcements and
listings in the wiki?

Cheers,

Adam

I'd be happy to help out if we moved it to Oct 10-12 (I'll be in Minneapolis that weekend and the following). This would give me more time to try and find some interested parties, too.

Dear Adam,

"We" is all of us.  The community.  The Royal We.  

Or just me.  Every mapping party starts with one person who builds it
into a larger party.  

So, are you a "we" or are you a "them"?  ;-)

Best regards,
Richard

I was simply asking if there was an organization behind it as some
across the pond have sponsorship.  For instance, the Clemson mapping
party is being helped by CLUG [1] as I have done a presentation on OSM
at a meeting last spring and we're hosting the Southeast Linux fest
[2] (Free maps ftw).

Cheers,

Adam

CloudMade makes it possible for me to travel and have mapping parties,
like Johnny Appleseed with a GPS.
