Explorer forum

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

A good way to start off term.

Informal discussions for reviewing what we've done, re-organise ourselves and think about what we'd like to do.

Explorers can also take a bit of time to plan a specific activity that they will take the lead on.
