[Talk-at] EGU mapathon Wien - help needed :)

[Andreas]

Hi Faith,

Stefan asked for the topic of the mapathon and not what it is. There
were few mapathons in Austria in the past.

I only attended one which was organized by the Red Cross organisation
and we had to map some place at Ethiopia for a water ressource project.

Kind regards
Andreas as Geologist
