I am in Maseru to train 14 members of the #MapLesotho OSM community. This is the third, and final year of the training. That is explained here here

So far the community members have decided that they will form three clusters of interest, and these are:

• Training and Engagement - main mission, to make Lesotho be as mapped as it possibly can be, and ensure that lots of users are recruited and make a contribution to the map

• Technical Quality - ensure all that is mapped is traced and tagged in an orthodox way to increase usability of the map

• Spatial Analysis - will use the data as much as possible to investigate matters relating to the physical layout of Lesotho.

I will be sad to leave, but to see the OSM community become so focussed here is a wonderful thing for me, knowing that in some small way I helped it. Right now the guys here have the basemap for the whole urban area 1% from completion and 2% away from validation.
