Philippines/Local Community Channels

The local communities of OpenStreetMap in the Philippines actively maintain their presence in multiple channels where public interaction is promoted, answer technical or non-technical questions, and openly discuss map-py topics, including non-mapping related concerns.

The use of public channels are strongly encouraged to allow immediate response by whoever is available, in addition to tapping the collective knowledge and experience of the channel members.

For sensitive concerns, a core crew of Philippine enthusiasts are reachable by their group email.
