Great idea - maybe including a local school too?

I wonder if this story could be used to inspire an OpenStreetMap mapathon in Eromanga. We could stump up some money from the OSM SIG pool of funds to cover food/drinks, find a local venue, and then skype in to show how everyone in the town can contribute to OpenStreetMap.

Probably just need one local (Mayor) perhaps to help us with on the ground coordination.

Crazy idea or something we should do?

It's definitely not a silly idea, Ed!

& from the article

"Corey Richards ... the operations manager at the Eromanga Natural History Museum" would probably be a good person to talk to?

Thanks

Graeme
