High CarolineH,

1) How far will you/ have you travelled to attend a mapping party?
Several Kilometres - maybe up to 25 (oneway) for a maximum of once a month.

2) Do you feel OSM mapping parties form an important part of your social life?
No, since I have not been at any (there are no such parties nearby.

3) Are you primarily concerned with the mapped progress of your local (home) area, or with the success of the OSM project in general?
Honestly, I can´t tell you. 50/50.

Yours,

Wolfgang
