Ubuntu NGO is a new Ubuntu group that's forming organise Ubuntu people around helping NGOs. I've done some volunteer work with Camara. One problem in the developing world is the lack of internet. People have made offline Wikipedia dumps, which is awesome. I'm big OpenStreetMap fan. It'd great to have a map of the world on your desktop. So I thought I'd try to make an offline OpenStreetMap. This blog (and the offlineosm tag) will be used to plan this out.
