[FOSS4G-Oceania] Who is ready to commit to leading an activity on the community day?

[Edoardo Neerhut]

Happy to put my hand up for some OSM related activity under the Maptime
Melbourne banner.

Four ideas come to mind:

- Choose a Melbourne/Aussie OSM problem that we can all solve together in
the same room e.g.(highway exits, wheelchair accessibility, sacred
indigenous sites)
- We go on a bit of a walk/field trip, using ODK Collect and Open Map Kit
applications to gather map data around the venue
- HOT mapping task focused on Papua New Guinea. Phil and I had one a few
weeks ago that was fun and will have another tomorrow.
- A street-level imagery themed session where we use objects detected in
images to add data to OSM. This could be preceded with street-level imagery
collection around the venue.*

*Disclaimer: conflict of interest on my part as I work for Mapillary. This
I a fun session though and is usually very well received.
