Hi folks,



We released a free "Guide to Nonprofit GIS and Online Mapping" PDF this week, aimed at staff and volunteers of NPOs, NGOs, grassroots groups, voluntary sector organizations, etc. It's chock full of cartography for a good cause, as we say. It's focused on free and low-cost tools and data sources, although the data source section is currently very US-centric. Download at:

* We're currently seeking feedback on the guide, as well as resources for free and low-cost data and tools that non-profit groups outside the USA might find useful. Please submit your suggestions at:



http://maptogether.org/contact



* We have organizations in Canada and Latin America that have expressed an interest in producing localized versions (Spanish, Portuguese, and French so far!). If you're interested in helping review a future on-English version for accuracy, or if you know of an awesome neogeo/community mapping project outside the US that should be included, please email me off-list.



Thanks, and I hope to meet some of you at WhereCamp this year!

-Jim
