St Paddy's OSM JOSM & Seattle Import Part Deux!

Hi all - it's about time to check in on some more JOSM training, how the Seattle Import is progressing, and for me to get off my butt and get the building shapes out (yes, Greg!). So, I'm targeting St. Patrick's for a fine get together. I'll confirm a location, etc. soon - the goal is to have it at the Montlake Library again, from 1-5. If so, I'll hit the nearby Fuel Coffee at 10am, and at the Montlake Alehouse at 5pm sharp. If a different library, we'll shoot for a similar coffee/mapping/beer combination.

This should be a largely heads-down and work session, building on some of the training from last time. I'll also focus on getting any newcomers up to speed and also get people up to speed with IRC and the maillists to see how to get support when we aren't meeting.

If any people are interested in talking about their current experience with the import, that would be great. This data is a great opportunity to combine the imported data with some ground-truth verification and surveying.
