Calling all idiots!
That's right, I'm starting a project to put every derby league on the planet into Google Earth. The number of leagues and the time involved per league is such that in order to finish this before the world ends in 2012 (you knew about that, right?), I need a few volunteers to help me track down a set of information for every roller derby league in existence and key it in to the Google Earth interface. Volunteers should have a strong interest in roller derby, a high tolerance for pain, no need for any form of compensation, some spare time to kill and the ability to accept the fact that Derby Helper will shamelessly hog all the credit when this thing is done. If you're willing to take on a few states, provinces or countries worth of leagues to key in, email me at the contact address listed in the column on the right. Oh and just kidding about hogging all the credit and no compensation. I'll list the names of all contributors and they will be rewarded with unlimited nods of approval from derby lovers around the world.
Edit: Thanks to those who have responded so far, however I need to point out that if you put your willingness to help in the comments section, I have no way of contacting you to coordinate our efforts. Please send an email! (Address is in the right-side bar.)

ReplyDeleteA bright spark from Seaside Siren Roller Girls has already done the UK - here's the link, will you be able to add it into your map?

That would have been nice Leonie but sadly the Maps version doesn't allow you to export the KML in a nice usable fashion the way Earth does. I definitely will use that map as a reference when keying in the UK though so thanks for the link!
