"Knowledge should be Free", as we say in our constitution, and creating Free maps falls under that goal. This will also help us interact with more people and take Pirate ideas to wider society.

Ok, I will try my best. tell me when is possible, what are the requisites etc.

Pirate Praveen Fri 13 Oct 2017 3:20PM

You suggest a good time for you. We just need a gps device (most smart phones these days have it) and if you'd like people outside Wayanad to join you, probably a place to stay.

@praveen yea, Basically the outcome of the whole collaborative cooperation is to build a new world order. And personally, I am not willing to limit to some man made boundaries.
But the lodging space is the problem. I know what the requirement is. But at present I am not in a stage to afford financially. Better, I will try to organize the event as an academic one. Something like, My college's Foss club event so that I could request for them to host people outside Wayanad.

We could find people who'd be happy to host volunteers, like @shyambalakrishnan . I think he'd be happy to host some of us for such an event.
