Grassroots Mapping Forum on its way to backers!

Update #10 · Aug 29, 2012 · comment
grassroots mapping forum is finally printed!

After a few delays owing to shipping standards,  the first regular issue of Grassroots Mapping Forum is on it's way to backers via bulk mail!  I'm extremely excited that we've worked out the logistics of subscription services and that we'll be putting out the Forum regularly.  I hope you all enjoy it.
