HOT email list apparently only reaches a few.
People who sign up to TM and do some mapping are obviously interested. Could we make use of this?
- When person firsts signs up to TM, send them pre-formatted message - allows corporate message to be sent with a few pertinent current points.
- When their first square is validated, send them a message that consists of;
- Corporate (LearnOSM, mailing list, IRC, Mumble, latest update... etc.)
- scrape of validators comment from square(s)
- Corporate thanks & hope they will do more.
- Thereafter message only once a month - exceptional circumstances? Same format.
- Dip testing / validating - have been sending my own worded message - corporate message may be better?
- Could we run more talks / training sessions? 'HOT coffee morning'
- Aid agencies appreciate what we do - could they also publicise some of our events - not only donate money, but time as well. Is something like British Red Cross interested in having a course run for them?
- Seems to be biased towards JOSM - could we be putting other mappers (the majority?) off?
