Rationale

It is estimated (from UK mapping experience) that it takes 2 hours (1h surveying + 1h editing) per 1000 inhabitants, so Ljubljana with 266000 inhabitants should be fully covered in roughly 500 man hours. Some of that has already been done. Having 2 full (10-12 hour work) days at disposal it means we need 20-25 participants to fully cover the city in one weekend. Even partial coverage is a success.

When

Weekend, September 8th-9th 2007:

• Saturday 10:00am-17:00pm: recording street names & GPS traces with own or OSMF GPS units on terrain
• Sunday 10:00am-late...: editing gathered data, and some additional recording of GPS traces.
