Re: [Nolug] OpenStreetMap.org Mapping Party March 7th

Hi Matt,

First I have to say: awesome!
I've been wanting to do the same thing in New Orleans once I heard about the
project a month or so ago. I'm so glad to hear you're doing this! I'll
definitely be there and I'll spread the word.
Simon

P.S.-three groups that I can think of off hand that would be interested:

   1. http://nolacycle.blogspot.com/ NolaCycle is a project aimed to create
   a high quality cycling map of New Orleans.
   2. http://opensoundneworleans.com/ A Collaborative Soundmap of the City
   3. http://no.la2600.com/
