[Aust-NZ] OSM Conference in 2011 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Bruce Bannerman]

That sounds like a good idea Ben.

What did you have in mind?



John,

This could also be a good venue for OSM if Ben was interested.

It would be good to expose many decision makers to the power of the OSM approach to Community maintained spatial data. 

The approach has potential for the future maintenance of Government data (with Government organisations, private industry and public sharing the maintenance burden).





Bruce
