Hi mapper, welcome to (almost) February,

February’s Mapping Party for Brisbane will be a little bit out of town this time: Beaudesert, but I hope I can encourage a good turnout.

The mapping party will be on Saturday 10th Feb, and we will be meeting in the morning for coffee, then surveying, and enjoying a free lunch in the Scenic Rim Council building while we help each other with our iDing and JOSMing, etc.

If you are a bit daunted by the trip from Brisbane to Beaudesert [1], I’d be happy to give you a lift there and back, so let me know. I’m happy to grab you from basically anywhere in Brisbane.

More details on the event are at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beaudesert-mapping-party-tickets-41303789747 and please use that link to RSVP so we can plan appropriate amounts of food.

If you can’t make it to Beaudesert, please turn up for the monthly Geospatial Network in Brisbane City on Wed 7 Feb (https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/brisbane-geospatial-network-wed-7-feb-2018-tickets-42339610916) and keep representing OSM to the local GIS community (I won’t be able to be there myself, unfortunately though).
